Note 22 — Chapter IV · TACTICS OF CAVALRY V. CAVALRY

“The rally after an action, mounted or dismounted, and against an enemy mounted or dismounted, requires careful thinking out and constant practice. During peace training, operations are rarely worked out to a logical conclusion, and too often cease with a final charge; so that the problem is not faced of what is to happen after the enemy has been routed, or the position captured or galloped through, or what is to happen should the attack fail.”—General Sir D. Haig’s Report on the Cavalry Divisional Training, 1909, p. 14.
