The '''5th Cavalry''' was a military unit of the [[British Indian Army]].<br />
<br />
The regiment was raised at [[Bareilly]] as the '''7th Irregular Cavalry''' in 1841 as a result of the [[First Afghan War]].<br />
<br />
In 1861 it was renamed the '''5th Regiment of Bengal Cavalry'''. The pre-[[Indian Rebellion of 1857|Indian Mutiny of 1857]] Bengal Light Cavalry regiments had been lost to mutiny or disbandment leaving the number free. In 1901 it was '''5th Bengal Cavalry'''.<br />
<br />
When Lord Kitchener became [[Commander-in-Chief, India]] he undertook to complete the [[Army of India|unification of the armies of India]], the various Presidency army regiments were renumbered into a more cohesive sequence. The Bengal regiments took the first 19 numbers with the result that the regiment was renamed simply as '''5th Cavalry''' in 1903.<br />
<br />
The regiment amalgamated with the [[8th Lancers]] in 1922 to form the [[3rd Cavalry (India)|3rd Cavalry]].<br />
