Note 36 — Chapter VIII · CAVALRY IN THE GENERAL ENGAGEMENT

German Cavalry Regulations, 1909, para. 393: “During the battle decisive intervention, whether to support or ward off the hostile attack, is possible only by throwing in large masses of cavalry.”

Also see p. 33 of the Report on 2nd Cavalry Staff Ride, by General Sir D. Haig, where the co-operation of a cavalry division in ground to some extent obstructed by obstacles is described, and attention is drawn to the historical instances of Salamanca and Austerlitz, in which the co-operation of cavalry was a special feature.
