An important history of a famous British cavalry regimentThis book is the first volume of an essential four volume work covering the history of the 7th (Queens Own) Hussars to the beginning of the Great War of 1914-18. C. R. B. Bennetts work is a study in considerable depth-concentrating not merely on the close activities of the regiment-but also on the tactical issues in which it took immediate part and the broader span of the engagements and campaigns in which it was involved. As such it is virtually a history of the British cavalry arm over more than two centuries. It is full of the detail much appreciated by students of military history including many first hand accounts. This volume concerns the regiments time as dragoons-mostly during the eighteenth century-and includes famous actions such as Dettingen, Fontenoy, Warburg, Vellinghausen, Wilhelmsthal and others. The second volume covers the Napoleonic period including the regiments experiences at Waterloo. The third volume covers the remainder of the nineteenth century including service in India and Africa, whilst the fourth volume gives much valuable information about equipment, uniforms and the services of individual members of the 7th.
