Book Description
Excerpt from The Transvaal War: 1880-81 The accounts given in these pages, as well as the opinions expressed, are mainly based upon official documents which have already appeared in print - in Parliamentary Blue-books, Transvaal Government Gazettes, and other publications, - but, as these sources of information are scattered and troublesome to get at, it has been thought convenient to reprint, in Appendix or footnote form, extracts from some of the despatches, orders, and correspondence to which reference is made. In the first chapter we have endeavoured to indicate the causes which brought about a most unnecessary war, and the further errors which led to a state of preparedness to cope effectively with it. And in the last we have treated of the way in which that war, after having passed through certain phases, - the besieged garrisons heroically holding their own, but the Natal column beaten back in the attempt, with miscalculated means, to relieve them, - was abruptly brought to an inglorious close.

Book Description
The regular Mounted Infantry was one of the most important innovations of the late Victorian and Edwardian British Army. Rather than fight on horseback in the traditional manner of cavalry, they used horses primarily to move swiftly about the battlefield, where they would then dismount and fight on foot, thus anticipating the development of mechanised infantry tactics during the twentieth century. Yet despite this apparent foresight, the mounted infantry concept was abandoned by the British Army in 1913, just at the point when it may have made the transition from a colonial to a continental force as part of the British Expeditionary Force. Exploring the historical background to the Mounted Infantry, this book untangles the debates that raged in the army, Parliament and the press between its advocates and the supporters of the established cavalry. With its origins in the extemporised mounted detachments raised during times of crisis from infantry battalions on overseas imperial garrison duties, Dr Winrow reveals how the Mounted Infantry model, unique among European armies, evolved into a formalised and apparently highly successful organisation of non-cavalry mounted troops. He then analyses why the Mounted Infantry concept fell out of favour just eleven years after its apogee during the South African Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902. As such the book will be of interest not only to historians of the nineteenth-century British army, but also those tracing the development of modern military doctrine and tactics, to which the Mounted Infantry provided successful - if short lived - inspiration.
