Note 32 — Chapter VII · A CAVALRY BRIGADE IN ACTION

General Sir D. Haig’s 2nd Staff Ride, p. 11: “With a force of greater strength than half a squadron, defiles should never be passed at a faster pace than the trot in order that each unit of the force may keep well closed up and the column be not unduly lengthened. After passing through, deployment should be made at a gallop so as to make room for units in rear.”
