At the Battle of Salamanca in 1812, the 11th Light Dragoons formed part of the British cavalry under the Duke of Wellington during the Peninsular War.

Known for their speed and discipline, the 11th Light Dragoons contributed to the effectiveness of the British cavalry in harassing French infantry and securing the Allied advance across Spain.
