Description
The 20th Hussars in the Great War by J. C. Darling is a detailed account of the experiences of this British cavalry regiment during World War I. The regiment, part of the 5th Cavalry Brigade, played a significant role from the start of the war, including key battles such as Mons and the Retreat, the Marne and the Aisne, and the armistice. The unit suffered losses, with 24 Battle Honours awarded and 11 officers and 205 other ranks killed in action. This narrative history, written by a regular officer who served in the regiment during the war, provides a straightforward and easily read account of individual experiences, including notable incidents such as Lieut Sparrow shooting a Hun cyclist and Corporal Goring capturing Uhlans' lances.
