Historical
Record of the 14th (King's) Hussars 1900 - 1922. by Brig J Gilbert Browne
and Lieut Col E J Bridges. Edited by Major A T Millet. (1932)
This is the second volume of the regimental history,
which begins at the start of the south African War, the end of which is
where the first volume finishes; thus there is an overlap. The
reason for this is that the war was still being fought when the Regiment's
record in it was written, and by the time this present volume was written
many facts and details had come to light which could not be obtained for
inclusion in the earlier volume. This account ends with the
amalgamation of the Regiment with the 20th Hussars in 1922, a year that
saw the disappearance of a number of cavalry regiments in a series of
amalgamations; 1922 was to the cavalry what 1870 and Cardwell had been to
the infantry. The dedication is not only to the 14th Hussars who
gave their lives during the Great War but also "to the Horses which
carried the Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and Men of the Regiment so
gallantly". This is a superb history, full of detail, not just
about battles and engagements (plenty of them) but also about life on a
cavalry regiment in peacetime in those years so long ago. Much of it
has been contributed by officers and warrant officers who are introduced
in the preface with details of their contributions. Most of the book
is concerned with the S African War and the Great War but there is plenty
about peacetime soldiering at home and in India where the Regiment was in
1914 and from where they went to Mesopotamia in November 1915 joining the
6th (Indian) Cavalry Brigade. In January 1918 the Regiment was
detached from the Brigade and sent to Persia where they stayed for the
rest of the war, returning to Mesopotamia at the end of the year.
The Regiment arrived back in England in April 1919 nearly thirteen years
after sailing for India. There are twenty-five appendices containing
a wealth of information about the 14th Hussars : changes in establishment;
Roll of Honour of officer for S African and Great War and of NCOs and Men
for the Great War; Honours and awards for both wars; succession of
Colonels of the Regiment, COs, Adjutants and WOs since 1900; service
records of Colonels and Lt Cols 1900 - 1922 showing officers who served -
and much else besides. Unusually the contents are shown not as a
series of chapters but as a chronology, year by year with headings for
every significant event. And finally there is a good index.
