The Thirteenth Hussars in the Great War

A regimental history recounts the service of a cavalry regiment during the First World War, beginning with prewar organization and earlier lineage, and following mobilization, embarkation, and service in France before an extended Mesopotamian campaign. The account describes trench and mounted operations, river and desert marches, and key actions along the Tigris including the recapture of Kut, the fight at Lajj, and the occupation of Baghdad, then later advances and return home. Maps, photographs, plates, appendices and an index document personnel, casualties, honors, and the regiment's operational and administrative experiences across successive seasons of the war.
