Horse selection in the National Guard
Wonderful and greatly interesting information. By contrast it brings to mind the process of horse selection used by a U.S. National Guard Cavalry unit upon being called to border duty in 1916. Apparantly there were more volunteers for duty than there were available horses. Since only troopers with s...

As a twice certified riding instructor, a state certified mounted police instructor trainer & drill master and a registered show judge I get to see about 300-400 mounted police, mounted deputies, posse and mounted auxiliary riders throughout the year. It is not always a pretty sight. An interest...

Practice executing the Charge (photo)
Dusan, Unfortunately I can offer nothing more on the history of this photo. I have had it in my collection for many years. The only identification is a faint date "1907" on the reverse and the "11" on the guidon. I confess that I have not done any research either, but on the orig...

I agree. I have many recollections of dead bodies rolled in flattened cardboard boxes with the Volkswagan CKD logo and abandoned along the roads of Nigera where tribal warfare between the Ebos and Yurbas has never ceased. I think that the film does capture some of the brutality of that part of the w...

Re: Bonfire
"What is it about World War One that produced such good poets? It is as remarkable as it is tragic. I've bumped up the last Armistace Day post so that a few of those can be viewed.." It may have been the hopelessness of trench warfare and the unimaginable carnage that it wrought. It seems ...

"Lincoln's Cavalrymen" E.G. Longacre
I've just completed my first read of this new book by Edward G. Longacre, a noted writer of Civil War cavalry works. His last book, "Custer and His Wolverines" was a great disappointment, not because it wasn't well written or that it wasn't easy to read. No, it was because, as the Historia...
