Note 291 — THE FORMAL TACTICS OF INFANTRY. (continued 5)
Walter Krueger translation
A German cavalry regiment at peace strength numbers from 552 to 576 sabers: a platoon of infantry (on a peace footing) numbers from 48 to 53 men.
In making a comparison between a cavalry regiment and a machine gun battery, it must be borne in mind that horse holders are deducted from the strength given for a cavalry regiment. Translator.
