Scots Greys Dragoons 1815

 

The 6th Inniskilling Dragoons was a cavalry regiment in the British Army, first raised in 1689. It saw service for three centuries, before being amalgamated into the 5th/6th Dragoons later the 5th Inniskilling Dragoon Guards, then finally the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards in 1922.


The 'Skins' as they were known are one of the four ancestor regiments of the Royal Dragoon Guards.
The regiment was first raised as Sir Albert Cunningham's Regiment of Dragoons in 1689, by the regimenting of various independent troops, and ranked as the 6th Dragoons. It later took the nickname of the "Black Dragoons", and in 1751 was formally titled as the 6th (Inniskilling) Regiment of Dragoons, later simply the 6th Inniskilling) Dragoons.


One of their most notable battles was the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. They also fought with distinction at the Battle of Waterloo in the Charge of the Union Brigade and again during the Crimean War as part of the successful Charge of the Heavy Brigade against superior numbers at the Battle of Balaklava.
