Between the Wars
In 1921 the title of the Regiment changed for the final time to “3rd The King’s Own Hussars”, a few months before it embarked for two years in Turkey as part of the allied army of occupation. from there it proceeded to Egypt until 1927 when it moved to India. Lucknow was a quiet tour and in 1932 The 3rd Hussars returned home to York.

On transferring to Tidworth in 1935 the Regiment had been selected and had itself approved the decision, to undergo the first experiments in mechanisation.
The 3rd Hussars cheerfully practised with laughably unsuitable vehicles until the Second World War drew them once more against their foes of the last conflict, the Germans.
