28th, 30th, 31st, 32nd, and 33rd Light Dragoons, raised and reduced 1795-97. N.B.-Scarlet was worn by all Cavalry corps, the Blues excepted, until the middle of the reign of King George III., when blue was adopted for Light Cavalry; light, or French grey, with the regimental facings, was worn by cavalry corps, while serving in India, until 1820. Scarlet was again adopted for all corps, except the Blues and Hussars, in 1831, at which time the use of facings was discontinued by Hussar regiments. Blue was resumed for Lancers and Light Dragoons in 1840. The only cavalry regiment wearing facings of the colour of the jacket previous to its adoption by the Hussars was the late 26th, afterwards 23rd Light Dragoons. Crimson facings were adopted when the corps was re-numbered. ALPHABETICAL LIST OF DETACHED AND UNNUMBERED CORPS ON THE ENGLISH ESTABLISHMENT, FROM 1740 TO 1865.
