Imperial Yeomanry Battalion APPENDIX n ROSTER AND RECORD OP THE 34TH COMPANY I.Y. Very few of the particulars here given are from official sources or records; they are for the most part from personal memoranda and obser­ vations of the author. Much care has been taken to arrive at accuracy, and it is hoped that errors are neither of importance nor many. Abbreviations.—Some abbreviations have been used which are mostly self-explanatory. "P. Sect. HI/H." means that the man first belonfsi to Section HI., but that at the rearrangement of the Company at Senekal he became a member of Section H., and so on. " Co." sometimes standi for " County." The rank after each name is that given at Knightsbridge after enlistment. 6345 Agnew, Herman M., Tpr., F. Sect. m/H., son of T. F. A.

Such were the words of one who, on that terrible Sunday at "Waterloo, proved them to be no idle boast and for all Scotch it is to to the ; English, Irish, whose pride belong mightiest Empire the world has ever known, they represent an accepted, indubitable fact. The British can and do whether it be beneath the army go anywhere anything ; glowing skies of India, amongst the scorching sands of Egypt, the tangled brush of New Zealand, the strange, historic, unfamiliar temples of China and Japan, the terrible dreariness of Crimean snows no region is too remote, no task too hard. "We are apt to smile at the seeming anticlimax of the boast made two centuries ago " Under the tropic is our language spoke, And part of Flanders hath received our yoke."

Dowriey HER MAJESTTTHE QUEEN, Colonel-in-Chief of the Regiment The Memoirs of the I 8th (Queen Mary's Own) Royal Hussars INCLUDING OPERATIONS IN THE GREAT WAR BY BRIG.-GENERAL CHARLES BURNETT, C.B., C.M.G. With Maps and Illustrations WINCHESTER : WARREN AND SON, LIMITED,- 85 HIGH STREET 1926 MADE AND PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY WARREN AND SON LTD. WINCHESTER DEDICATED, BY GRACIOUS PERMISSION, TO %er ff!Laie5tg @be Queen, COLONEL-IN-CHIEF OF THE REGIMENT PREFACE COLONEL MALET'S story brought the Regimental History of the 18th Hussars down to the year 1906. The following pages, which are in continuation of these Regimental Records, will complete the History of the Regiment up to its amalgamation with the 13th Hussars. The basic facts have been recorded by successive Com- manding Officers in the Regimental " Digest of Services," and the compiler is deeply indebted to the contents of that book for the accuracy of his composition. He also has to acknowledge, with much gratitude, the kindness and courtesy of the " Historical Section of the War Office," whose staff invariably gave him great assistance in his search through official documents for a framework for those events, in which the Regiment bore such a distinguished part during the Great War. As a traditional event, it is a sad task to have to close the Memoirs of the Regiment as an individual unit in His Majesty's Army. Both Regiments, the 13th and the 18th~have this burden to carry, but it has been immeasurably lightened by the tad and camaraderie of all ranks of both Corps since the amalgamation has taken place.

Signature………………………………………………………… Date……………………………………………………………….. 2 Abstract The mechanization of British Cavalry regiments took place between the two World Wars and on into 1942. This thesis describes the process by which horsed cavalrymen were re-trained in armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs) and the experiences of some of the regiments managing this change. Extensive use has been made of the oral testimonies of many of the soldiers involved, a number of whom are still living, as well as regimental and War Office archives. The reason given for the delay in cavalry mechanization, cited in some military histories, much influenced by Sir Basil Liddell Hart, was resistance from the cavalry to parting from their horses.
