Duke of Kingston's Regiment of Light Horse ended in 1746.
The first French Eagle captured during the Napoleonic Wars was taken by the 85th Regiment of Foot (the King's Light Dragoons) at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. However, the first recorded capture occurred earlier at the Battle of Alexandria in 1801, when British forces, led by General Sir Ralph Abercromby, seized an eagle from the French 32nd Regiment of Infantry. This act became a significant symbol of victory for the British forces during the campaigns against Napoleon.
'The Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry' (an English based regiment of the british army)
No, they were just a different type of cavalry, usually mounted infantry armed with a sword or a carbine ( short light rifle )
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.
