A cavalryman's view of a famous action
This concise book offers an interesting perspective of the British
mounted arm during the campaign which ended Napoleon's bid to
reposition himself on the throne of France. The ranks of infantry
glued to the muddy ridge at Waterloo sealed his fate, but the horse
soldiers played no small part. This analysis has been written by a
famous British soldier-Sir Evelyn Wood. Wood was a cavalryman
himself and knew his subject well. He was a cornet in the 13th
Light Dragoons later transferring to the 17th Lancers. He served
during the Indian Mutiny winning the V. C. in 1858, aged 20, in a
light cavalry action at Sinwaho. Wood went on to serve in the
Ashanti War, the Zulu War, the Boer War and the Sudan before ending
his career with the rank of Field-Marshal.
