The First World War sounded the death knell for mounted cavalry as it became apparent that technology had moved forward with greater destructive power and made horsed cavalry redundant on the modern battlefield. The British Army reorganised and reduced its cavalry corps by disbanding or amalgamating many of its famous cavalry regiments. The Inniskillings was one of those affected. It saw service for two centuries, including the First World War, before being amalgamated with 5th (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Dragoon Guards to form 5th/6th Dragoons in 1922.

Le régiment a été créé pour la première fois sous le nom de Sir Albert Cunningham's Regiment of Dragoons en 1689 et classé comme la 6th Dragoons. Il eut en 1701, avec le commandant Cadogan, l'un de ses plus illustres officiers. Cette unité a pris plus tard le surnom de « Black Dragons » et en 1751 elle a été officiellement appelée le 6th (Inniskilling) Regiment of Dragoons, puis plus tard simplement le 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons.

Conhecidos por '"The Skins", são um dos quatro antigos regimentos dos . O regimento foi criado com a designação Sir Albert Cunningham's Regiment of Dragoons em 1689, por reorganização de várias tropas independentes, e designada como 6th Dragoons. Mais tarde seria conhecida como Black Dragoons e, em 1751 foi formalmente intitulada de 6th (Inniskilling) Regiment of Dragoons, ou de forma simplificada, 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons. Uma das batalhas mais notáveis em que participou foi a Batalha do Boyne, em 1690. Também lutaram com distinção na Batalha de Waterloo e de novo na Guerra da Crimeia na Batalha de Balaclava. A Segunda Guerra Mundial foi o princípio do fim da cavalaria tradicional dado que a cavalaria mecanizada estava a tomar o seu lugar com mais poder destrutivo e tornando a presença de cavalos redundante nos modernos teatros de guerra. O Exército Britânico reorganizou e diminuiu as forças a cavalo extinguindo, ou integrando, os seus famosos regimentos de cavalaria em 1922, como medida incluída nas reformas políticas de redução da despesa pública de .
