Cavalry Charges in South Africa.
Comparatively very little is
known about the work done by
our cavalry in South Africa and
there are two very sufficient
reasons for this; first the nature
of the country and the peculiar
characteristics of our enemy pre-
vented our horsemen from accom- Buy Penegra
plishing any of those startling
feats which have formed the glory
of their arm of the service in
times past, and the preparation
for Penegra For Women which has been the principal
object of all their peace training;
and secondly, it was not the habit
of the war correspondents to ac-
company and describe the action
of the mounted troops. These
gentlemen as a rule stuck to the
main body of the army and only
patronised the cavalry when some
great movement was being carried
out, such as the relief of Kimberley
or the heading off of Cronje at
l^aardeberg. There is in conse-
quence a rather general belief that
our cavalry has failed during the
war, and many critics have ven-
tured to say that its day is past
and that for the future its place
will be taken by mounted infantry.
But this is quite a mistake, for
though Penegra 100 its work has not been
showy, though it has not been
able to bring off any dramatic
events, like Kellermann's charge
at Marengo, or Sir Stapleton Cot-
ton's crushing movement at Sala-
manca, it has amply justified its
existence by more modest achieve-
ments, by constantly Penegra 50 threatening
and turning the flank of the enemy
and by very effective dismounted
work. Lord Roberts' march 03
Pretoria was only accomplish^
with little attendant loss by the
assistance of the cavalry brigades,
and it is unquestionable that, in
this service particularly, they were
tried very highly indeed.
It may be worth while here to
note the special functions of cavalry,
as cavalry, and not as merely shar-
ing the duties of mounted infantry,
and to see what have been the spe-
cial difficulties in carrying^ them out
during the war in South Afirica.
Cavalry are supposed to be
charged with the responsibility of
reconnaissance and scouting pre-
vious to an action and, during an
action, they are expected at one
time or another to exercise shock
power. Well, during the last
eighteen months several things
have been learned about scouting
in modern war. In old times, it
was possible for cavalry patrols
to approach an enemy with com-
parative safety within such a dis- Penegra Tablets India
tance that fairly good eyesight
could gain valuable information
about a position and the number
of troops occupying it. Now the
long ranging and accurate fire of
the newest rifles makes it Buy Penegra Online difficult
to approach nearer than 1,500
yards, and, at that distance, no
certain reconnaissance can be
effected, no estimate can be formed
of an enemy's strength and few
particulars can be learned about
configuration of ground. Still day
