Book Description
Excerpt from Achievements of Cavalry Some years ago, when commanding the Aldershot District, I came to the conclusion that our cavalry officers were being discouraged at field-days by the system of umpiring, which was faulty, in that it did not represent the probable results of war. This was so because it was assumed that the effect of rifle fire on Service nearly equalled that obtained on the ranges, and also because we over-estimated the value of Artillery practice when guns were laid on moving targets. Moreover, the application of the rules then in force was often to the prejudice of the Mounted branches. In conjunction with my friend and colleague, General Sir Drury Lowe, then commanding the Cavalry brigade, I endeavoured to correct such erroneous judgments, and to bring out truer solutions. The consideration of the subject, and careful study of many military histories, has demonstrated to me how essential it is that cavalry officers should know when and how to charge, and when to refrain from the attack.

Book Description
Field Marshal Wood ranks as one of the most eminent soldiers of the Victorian era of the British Empire. He served with distinction in the mud and misery of the Crimean War, the Indian Mutiny, Wolseley’s Ishanti War, the Zulu War and in Egypt and the Sudan. His actions on attacking a gang of robbers intent on murdering a local merchant earned him the Victoria Cross - his second recommendation for the V.C. His enduring affection for the cavalry in which he served early in his illustrious career led to him penning two historical works regarding the arme blanche. This work focusses on the historical triumphs of the cavalry deployed on the battlefield from 1794 to 1870, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars and the 1870 Franco-Prussian War. From the field of Marengo in 1800 to the famed “Death Ride” of von Bredow in 1870, Field Marshal Wood retells the events with authenticity and skill. A pacy and engaging read. Author — Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood V.C. G.C.B., G.C.M.G., 1838-1919 Text taken, whole and complete, from the edition published in London : G. Bell, 1897. Original Page Count – xvi and 260 pages.
