With Cavalry in 1915 / The British Trooper in the Trench Line, Through the Second Battle of Ypres

A first-hand wartime chronicle of cavalry operations and frontline life during the fighting around Ypres, presented as month-by-month reportage covering trench conditions, artillery barrages, gas attacks, cavalry actions, counter-attacks, and the strain on men and horses. The narrative blends tactical descriptions and staff decisions with vivid vignettes of ruined towns, refugee movements, logistical and mechanical problems, and hospital and evacuation scenes. The author expresses strong admiration for the troops while offering measured criticism of organisation and operational shortcomings, and records moments of improvisation, humour, and personal risk.
