The Seventeenth was to be brigaded with the 8th and 11th Hussars and the 4th and 13th Light dragoons to comprise what was said at the time to be The finest Brigade of Light cavalry ever to leave the shores of England. Prior to departure for the front. The seventeenth is reviewed by its Colonel in Chief, the Duke of Cambridge wearing scarlet full dress in contrast to the dark blue of the seventeenth. A bit of swagger before the Charge which would secure the regiments place in history.

Occupying the right of the line is the regimental Band, headed by the drum horse "Old Pompey" The Kettledrums of the regiment carry banners of dark velvet which proudly display the Death's head Regimental Badge. the bandsmen were distinctive red plumes on their Lance caps to distinguish them from the Officers and Lancers, who normally were black plums.
