The Royal Colonial Light Horse Brigade, located in Springfield, Missouri, is a troop of historians and military enthusiasts. It was founded by a group of anglophiles in 1982 who took their inspiration from the Calcutta Light Horse Regiment depicted in the 1980 film The Sea Wolves. The group meets on a monthly basis in British military uniforms.
In 1991, the group won the Best Community Entry in the Southwest Missouri State University's homecoming parade.[1]
