Etat : New. 2006. N&M Press reprint (original pub 1924). 2 vols. SB. xii + 336 & viii + 289pp with 16 colour plates (seven of uniform) maps & plans .Published Price £48 Sub-titled âthe History of a Regiment of Horseâ this is indeed the story of one of the British Armyâs most distinguished cavalry regiments from its formation in 1685 to its disappearence in 1922 after the end of the Great War. Before it was finally amalgamated in other units, the 5th Dragoon Guards had notched up a long roll call of battle honours, begining with the great victories of the Duke of Marlborough in the War of the Spanish Succession: Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde, and Malplaquet. The Guards played their part in the Peninsular War, fighting in Wellingtonâs great victory over Marshal Soult at Salamanca, and also fought under the Duke at Waterloo. In the Crimean War, the Guards formed part of General Scarlettâs Heavy Brigade, charging at the battle of Balaclava. They fought in the Boer War, and in the Great War were present in both the opening and closing phases when calvary were able to play a role in open warfare - at Nery in 1914 and Harbonnieres in 1918. Illustrated with many maps and coloured and half tone plates, and accompanied by a second volume detailing officers rolls, regimental stations, sporting achievements and awards etc. this is a history which no-one who delights in the role of cavalry in warfare will wish to miss.
