3rd Skinner's Horse was sent to the Western Front, France, with the 7th (Meerut) Cavalry Brigade in late 1914, remaining there until their transfer back to India in 1916, then they were posted to the Loralai for service on the North West Frontier. They saw action during the Third Anglo-Afghan War of 1919.
Claude Stokes, intelligence officer for the Dunsterforce, was an officer with the 3rd Skinner's Horse.
It amalgamated with the 1st Duke of York's Own Lancers Skinner's Horse at Sialkot in June 1921 and so ceased to have a separate identity, its traditions and honours being carried forward by the new regiment.
