Default 49 (East) Brigade, help identify the unit..

A photograph of a Yeomanry unit(?) part of 49th Brigade. The officer on the far left looks like King Abdallah of Jordan(?).
Can anyone help?

I concur - LD and hence a Regular Cavalry regt rather than yeomanry.

No doubt about it -- absolutely the Light Dragoons, and a very nice photo.

The Light Dragoons are based near me at Swanton Morley in Norfolk. The King of Jordan is their Colonel in Chief. There are often photos in the local papers here of him visiting 'his' regiment.
