"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." But after all it was no empty one, and foreshadowed, though in a faint degree, the sober fact of to-day. In Europe, the English flag floats over the frowning fortress of the defences of the classic hills of in Asia the Gibraltar, impregnable Malta, Cyprus ; Empire of India owns as sovereign the Queen of England, and the spicy breezes of Ceylon's isle fill and wave the folds of her standard; in America, "the loyal pines of " Canada above a British to the heart's core in the of Good sway populace ; Africa, Cape Hope welcomes the emigrant to land which his forefathers took possession of nearly a hundred in Australia and Zealand has a years ago ; New new England sprung up, prosperous, with the strong, priceless heritage of the mother land, and the bounteous promise of its own stalwart youth.

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.

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.
