"...an excellent account of the horse in British service... this
book will prove a very valuable resource for those interested in
logistics in the age of horse powered armies."-- "The NYMAS Review,
Spring 2018"
"The book apportions its attention well between central topics,
such as transporting horses, and peripheral topics, such as equines
in non-combatant units... Horses in the British Army offers an
abundance of well researched and informed material"--
