Light brigade weapon?

The British light cavalry carried the Lance & Sabre. I am unsure if the carbine was also carried, probably not. I assume the Q refers to Balaclava in 1854. Officers of Lancers, Light Dragoons and Hussars carried the Pattern 1822 Light Cavalry Officer's Sword. Other Ranks were issued with the Pattern 1821 Light Cavalry Sword. It is also possible that some troopers carried the newly issued Pattern 1853 Cavalry Sword. Other Ranks of Hussars and Light Dragoons had Model 1842 "Victoria" Carbines and Lancers a 9-foot-long ash hafted lance. Lancers had Pattern 1842 pistols as did Sergeants Major of Light Dragoons and Hussars. There was also a smattering of Model 1851 Colt Navy Revolvers, Deane Adams and Deane revolvers and other non-regulation arms, usually carried by officers.


What is The cavalry?

In the US, prior to 1942, the US Cavalry was a mounted arm (horse units). It's missions were to exploit gaps made in enemy lines, conduct screening/security, and reconnaissance missions. The last US Horse Cavalry unit to fight from horse back was the US 26th Cavalry, which attacked Japanese light tanks in the Philippines during WWII in 1942. Congress officially de-activated (retired) the US Cavalry (Horse) in 1926. Post 1942, armor (tanks) have replaced the horse cavalry.
