The next Regiment (p. 65) was formed in Ireland, early in 1689 (with effect from Jan. 1), as "Wynne's Inniskilling Dragoons," becoming, in due course, the "Royal Dragoons of Ireland," and then the " 5th (or Royal Irish) Regiment of Dragoons." In 1799 it was disbanded.

By Horse Guards' General Order of Jan. 9, 1858, the disbandment of 1799 was can- celled, and the Regiment reformed and " restored to its place among the Cavalry Regiments of the line," as a regiment of Lancers. It is now (1920) the " 5th (Royal Irish) Lancers."
