BATTLE PHOTO SHOOT. CAVALRY.

Here is the second post in this new series, this time focusing on 9th Cavalry regiment, one of 18 such regiments in my armies. I really will try to improve the background next time !!!!





The above picture shows the regiment drawn up with the four squadrons facing the enemy, the command group in the centre and the regimental wagon lines in the rear.




One of the squadrons with officers and NCO's in front.




The command group, the Colonel, adjutant, RSM and flag bearers.




The wagon lines. Only two wheeled vehicles are used in Cavalry regiments to enable good cross country performance. The soldiers of the supporting services travel  on the vehicles.




 The regimental aid post ready for casualties and the signals trailer receiving orders.




The field kitchen and water trailer ready to provide breakfast.




And a final flank shot of the regiment ready for action. I hope these photos give a better appreciation of the war-gaming potential of my armies as well as a visual understanding of their sheer size measured against the two by two foot board used as a base.
