A sabretache is a type of satchel strapped to a cavalry or horse artillery officers belt. Although originally a container for orders and maps, by the mid-nineteenth century most sabretaches had a purely decorative role.
The Central Bengal Light Horse was an Indian Army auxiliary raised in 1884 and amalgamated with the Calcutta Light Horse in 1901. The unit was disbanded in 1947 when India gained Independence.
