After a brief period of traditional cavalry operations in the opening months of the war, the Household Cavalry took its part in the grueling trench warfare that typified the British effort in Belgium and France. The author - a regular serving soldier - provides a vivid and entertaining account of cavalry life in the pre-war period, action against mounted Uhlans and of his experiences in the front line under rifle fire and bombardment.The soldier is in the British cavalry several years before the war begins. When the war begins he is in the 3rd Cavalry division, 7th Cavalry brigade. He is assigned to a cavalry troop and heads overseas. The soldier gives great detail of his cavalry actions early in the war. From time to time they had to man the trenches. The 3rd Cavalry division moved to Belgium in the first week of October 1914. During the war the division took part in most of the major actions where cavalry were used as a mounted mobile force, and also many where the troops were dismounted and effectively served as infantry.
