About this title

Synopsis

This book chronicles the proud history of the British Army's cavalry, from their medieval origins as knights in shining armor to their modern-day role as armored warriors. The author delves into the evolution of cavalry tactics and weaponry, from the lances and swords of old to the tanks and aircraft of today. Along the way, the book profiles some of the most famous cavalry regiments in British history, including the Household Cavalry, the Dragoon Guards, and the Royal Horse Artillery. The author also examines the role of cavalry in some of Britain's most famous battles, such as Waterloo, the Crimean War, and World War II.
