"A cavalry charge can only succeed...

[jonnymacbrown]

...when the last enemy machine gun is taken." I forget who said that but it was some British general c. 1916. Where there any successful cavalry charges in 1914? Prussian cavalry went in with lance, sword, pistol and carbine. Did they ever use those lances or swords? Union cavalry had discarded the sword by 1865. Did the Brits still have them in 1914? Did they charge anybody in Flanders? :smoke: jonny
