          I'd say the best Cav unit in India is the Poona Horse...4 Victoria Crosses and 2 PVC's!!

          And how can a man die better; Than facing fearful odds,
          For the ashes of his father; And the temples of his gods."

                    A better explanation

                    Here is the official link giving a more accurate and visual explanation of our history.

                      That'd probably leave your stomach quite a bit more upset than 99 bottles of beer on the wall, Sir.

                        Compare the RTR cap badge and ours which is in my signature.

                        My Regiment was a Machine Gun Regiment that converted to Infantry!

                        Our Regt crest is:

                        Crossed Vickers barrel with the pillar of Koregaon (later changed to a dagger) and the Vickers tripod is below.

                        Our Motto Yash Siddhi (originally in Roman script and later changed to Hindi) = Fame and Honour is on top and the inscription Mahar MG Regiment is below (later changed to Mahar Regiment (Roman script) when the Regt converted to Infantry and then again it was changed from the Roman script to Hindi.

                                I have trained and served with quite a few from the 2nd (3rd & 4th also), and a good bunch of lads they were too.
                                The only difference between the 1st & 2nd is the area that each recruits from. Historic tradition as you can see is identical, along with Regimental pride, sense of humour, professionalism and dedication.

                                Although we naturally know we are slightly better
