'''The Assam Valley Light Horse''' regiment was raised in 1891 and formed part of Indian Volunteer Force, later the [[Indian Defence Force]] and finally the [[Auxiliary Force (India)]].

The regimental headquarters was at [[Dibrugarh]] in [[Assam]]. It was recruited from the European community in Assam - mostly tea planters.

A light horse [[regiment]] had a rough strength of approximately 400 men and its troops typically fought as [[mounted infantry]] rather than traditional cavalry.

A few volunteers from the regiment joined [[Lumsden's Horse]] in 1899 raised by Colonel [[Dugald McTavish Lumsden]] for service in the [[Second Boer War|Boer War]] and similarly in 1911 a few volunteers took part in the Abor campaign of 1911–12.

The regiment was disbanded when [[India]] became independent in August 1947.
