A scarce early twentieth-century instructional manual produced for the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry, compiled from the British Army’s Cavalry Training regulations of 1907. Intended for use by N.C.O.s, the booklet covers squad and troop drill procedures, mounted movement, formation handling and basic discipline for yeomanry cavalry units in the years immediately preceding the First World War.
The text reflects contemporary British cavalry doctrine and includes detailed drill instructions, command procedures and formation movements. A useful reference item for collectors of cavalry material, yeomanry history and pre-1914 British military training publications.
