Britain's Regular Cavalry at War 1660 - 1920 | Hereford Military History Festival

Patrick Mileham describes the part the regiments played in Britain’s wars and in peacetime, as regiments of Horse, Dragoon Guards, Dragoons, Light Dragoons, Hussars and Lancers. The way they maintained ‘the cavalry spirit’ in good times and hard, reveals a powerful story of the fabric of British military operational and regimental life at home and serving the Empire. As well as recording the collective history of Britain’s regular horsed cavalry, greater than the sum of parts, the individual regiments’ curriculum vitae can be followed, charting the changing names and roles, and complex amalgamations to the present-day Royal Armoured Corps.
