The Incredible Story of British Cavalry and The Battle for Syria (1941)

I bet like me you thought tanks and armoured vehicles had replaced Britain’s horse mounted cavalry after WW1. Well, we were wrong. Imagine this: in 1939, Britain still had a number of cavalry regiments that hadn’t been mechanised. . . They still rode horses and carried sabres.  These were territorials with no real place in modern warfare, yet by 1941, they were riding into battle in Syria, leading patrols, swimming rivers under aircraft attack, and somehow rewriting the book on cavalry warfare. They were actually incredibly important. Today, we are joined by the brilliant —Jonathan Washington, former Yeomanry soldier himself and author of “FIGHTING VICHY FROM HORSEBACK” - It’s a cracking book All about a Division that Wasn't Meant to Fight - Britain’s 1st Cavalry Division in World War II.
