Allied with: King Edward's Horse (The King's Oversea Dominions Regiment).

History:

The 1st (Central Queensland) Light Horse Regiment came from a long line from the original Queensland Mounted Infantry. During the reforms of 1900, this particular formation took the name of the 3rd Battalion Queensland Mounted Infantry. When the 1903 Defence Act amalgamated all the inpidual states' forces into a unified force, the 3rd Battalion QMI was renamed the 15th Australian Light Horse,  Queensland Mounted Infantry. The introduction of universal service after the Kitchener Report of February 1910, led to the reformation of the 15th Australian Light Horse into the renamed 1st (Central Queensland) Light Horse Regiment.
