The regiments named below are authorized to bear this battle honour: 1st Life Guards. 2nd Life Guards. Royal Horse Guards. 4th Dragoon Guards. 7th Dragoon Guards. 19th Hussars. Grenadier Guards. Coldstream Guards. Scots Guards. Royal Irish. Cornwall Light Infantry. Royal Highlanders. King's Royal Rifles. York and Lancaster. Highland Light Infantry. Seaforth Highlanders. Gordon Highlanders. Royal Irish Fusiliers. Cameron Highlanders. 13th (Watson's Horse). 2nd (Gardner's Horse). 2nd Queen's Own Sappers and Miners. 6th King Edward's Own Cavalry. 20th (Brownlow's Punjabis). 7th Rajputs. 129th Baluchis. This battle honour commemorates the first action in which the Household Cavalry were engaged since Waterloo. The hypercritical may claim that the composite regiment, under Brigadier Ewart, took part in the midnight charge on September 28, and this is strictly true; but Kassassin does not figure on the standards or appointments of the Household Cavalry, whereas Tel-el-Kebir does.
