Raised in August 1643 at London and included some remnants of foot from Waller’s old army of the Western Association. In July 1644 the regiment was converted to dragoons. Waller had previously raised a regiment of dragoons, but this was soon passed on to Holborne.

The regiment carried blue flags of an unknown design (Laurence Spring). Their coat colour is not definitely known but a reference to yellowcoats of Waller's army could refer to either Waller's or Potley's regiments.

A list of officers is shown in Laurence Spring's Waller's Army, The Regiments of Sir William Waller's Southern Association The Pike and Shot Association 2007 ISBN 978-1-902768-34-2
