Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. This looks at the South African War, which lasted from October 1899 until May 1902, saw the destruction of some 350,000 out of the half-million horses employed by the British to win it. The fascinating story of the war itself, and how the farmers of the veld, natural horsemen and skilled marksmen, humiliated but failed in the end to overcome the regular and hastily formed irregular forces of the British Empire at its height, is told here as much in the words of individual officers and men as in those of the Blue Books and official reports. The other chief subject with which this volume deals is the heated 'Cavalry Debate' which followed the Boer War and which continued unabated until the outbreak of the much greater conflict with which this volume will deal with. Lord Anglesey shows how the grandual introduction of motor vehicles, aeroplanes, modern arttillery and fire arms heralded the painful death throes of the horse-borne soldier as a instrument of war and at the same time affected the pre-1914 conditions of life of both officers and men of the mounted arm / Illustrated with photography & drawings & maps. / This a 1st edition hardback with its dustjacket in near to fine condition-the dustjackets spine is slightly faded & creased. (565 pages & 24 pages of photography). This is a heavy book over 1.3kg, so there will be an extra postage charge.

Etat : New. Hardback, 565 pagesPublished Price £45 As the centuries pass, war has generally become increasingly hideous. Yet in some respects it is more humane today. The monstrous cruelty which their warring masters used to inflict on dumb animals is now a thing of the past. The South African War, which lasted from October 1899 until May 1902, saw the destruction of some 350000 out of the half million horses employed by the British to win it. The appalling cruelties inflicted upon this mass of horseflesh are fully examined in this volume of Lord Angleseyâs magisterial eight volume history. He reveals the horrifying extent of the pitiless barbarity and delves deeply into its causes. In all the vast literature dealing with what is dubiously known as the âlast of the gentlemanâs warsâ scant attention has been paid to this aspect of it. Even less has been paid to finding out how such colossal number of remounts were provided. Without them the waging, let alone the winning of the war would have been impossible. Lord Anglesey shows how a miniscule staff, headed by an obscure major-general, organised a brilliant and intricate operation the magnitude of which, until then, had no equal in the history of the British Army.The fascinating story of the war itself, and how the farmers of the veld, natural horsemen and skilled marksmen, humiliated but failed in the end to overcome the regular and hastily formed irregular forces of the British Empire at its height is told here as much in the words of individual officers and men as in the Blue Books and official reports. The other chief subject with which this volume deals is the heated âCavalry Debateâ which followed the Boer War and which continued unabated until the outbreak of the much greater conflict (see volume 7 and 8).This controversy resolved itself into three major questions: Did automatic long-range fire relegate the horse in war to a purely transporting role or could the mounted arm still be employed as an essential part of the Armyâs âweapons systemâ? Were the sword and lance bound to face extinction? Would dismounted men firing sophisticated rifles kill off the âcavalry spiritâ?

Etat : New. Hardback, 520 pagesPublished Price £45 In the second volume of his definitive history of the final hundred years of British Cavalry, Lord Anglesey deals with a considerably more active period then that which he covered in the first. During the two decades now investigated, the stagnation which has settled on the military scene for the thirty-five years following Waterloo came to an abrupt end. The Army, and especially its mounted arm, were rudely shaken from their slumbers by the traumatic experiences of the Crimean War and the Indian Mutiny. Lord Anglesey describes in absorbing detail they part played by the cavalry in both. Of the battle of Balaclava particularly, he writes as fully as he has ever done before. He believes that âinaccuracies of detail and interpretation have created myths which needed, if not exploding, at least revising so as to resemble more closely what actually happened and to explain âThe Reason Whyâ. âThroughout the volume Lord Anglesey has relied upon considerable numbers of hitherto unpublished documents, mostly letters and diaries. He examines with the greatest thoroughness the social lives of both officers and men, unearthing much obscure but intriguing material from a large variety of sources. He spent many months quarrying in the Blue Books of the period, coming up with facts touching on every conceivable aspect of barrack-room life both at home and abroad- especially in India. Much of it had lain hidden amongst millions of unread, unheeded words from over a century. The Picture which results itâs as vivid as it is startling. It forms a significant contribution to mid-Victorian social history. Once again Lord Anglesey pays tribute to the extraordinary bravery and to the immense powers of endurance of officer, other ranks and, last but not least, their long-suffering horses.

A very thorough and complete history of the British cavalry at war and peace 1899-1913. Passionately written by an author who shows a firm grasp of all aspects of cavalry. It covers, in some detail, the cavalry's participation in the Boer War and the tactical challenges, and lessons, of fighting in the South African veldt against the Boer Commandoes. Also included are some of the more ignored issues behind cavalry performance, such as the remount service and the debate over the primacy of the sword and the magazine fed rifle. It sets an excellent introduction to the challenges of the British regular cavalry in the First World War. Ref LLL 2.
