From the opening years of the 19th century, which saw the first moves towards standardization and the beginnings of the demise of the system which allowed the colonels of regiments so much say in the equipping of their troops, through the influences of the Napoleonic Wars to the inevitable demise of the horse in military service brought about by the mechanization prior to the Second World War, this authoritative text examines in detail the historical development of British cavalry equipment 1800-1941. This edition has all new color illustrations. The text seems to be largely the same as in the original edition. The author claims this revised edition has corrections to the original.
