9th Cavalry Regiment - Buffalo Soldiers w 9th Cav Guidon
The 9th Cavalry Regiment is a parent cavalry regiment of the United States Army. Historically, it was one of the Army's four segregated African-American regiments and was part of what was known as the Buffalo Soldiers. The regiment saw combat during the Indian and Spanish–American Wars. During Westward Expansion, the regiment provided escort for the early western settlers and maintained peace on the American frontier.
- Company Guidon: A guidon is available for purchase from 1898 Miniaturas.
The practice of carrying guidons, standards, and colors in military organizations originated in Ancient Egypt and was formalized in Europe during the High Middle Ages. These items were used to rally troops and mark the commander's location. However, the last recorded use of cavalry guidons in battle was in Spain around 1810. The brightly-colored flags were eventually deemed unsuitable for modern battlefields after the 58th Foot suffered heavy losses at Laing's Nek in South Africa in 1881.
