The Light Cavalry HAC originally was formed in 1861 as a further extension to the Honourable Artillery Company's 'variety of arms'. Amongst their then duties was that of guarding the Lord Mayor of London, a role taken over more recently by the Company of Pikemen and Musketeers of the Honourable Artillery Company. In 1891 the HAC Light Cavalry was disbanded and absorbed into the rapidly expanding Royal Horse Artillery element of the Regiment, eventually becoming part of 'A' Battery HAC, RHA.
