4.9/5 (33726 ratings)

Description:Of what use were the British cavalry during the years of trench warfare on the Western Front? On a static battlefield dominated by the weapons of the industrial age, by the machine gun and massed artillery, the cavalry were seen as an anachronism. They were vulnerable to modern armaments, of little value in combat and a waste of scarce resources. At least, that is the common viewpoint. Indeed, the cavalry have been consistently underestimated since the first histories of the Great War were written. But, in light of modern research, is this the right verdict?David Kenyon seeks to answer this question in his thought-provoking new study. His conclusions challenge conventional wisdom on the subject OCo they should prompt a radical re-evaluation of the role of the horseman on the battlefields of France and Flanders a century ago.Using evidence gained from primary research into wartime records and the eyewitness accounts of the men who were there OCo who saw the cavalry in action OCo he reassesses the cavalry's contribution and performance. His writing gives a vivid insight into the cavalry tactics and the ethos of the cavalrymen of the time. He also examines how the cavalry combined with the other arms of the British army, in particular the tanks.His well-balanced and original study will be essential reading for students of the Western Front and for anyone who is interested in the long history of cavalry combat."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
