Well. As promised. I looked this up straight away. And let me say, wow, thanks for mentioning us. I’ll have to show Cody when I get home 😂😂. Loved the video. You’ve got me all inspired to do a more detailed Light Horse video myself. I ride all the time in my military saddle and have the lance bucket on my stirrup full time as we often ride a glad. It serves same purpose, Lance or flag pole. Anyway old mate. I could rave on about the differences and similarities UK V Light Horse but I’ll save it for a video. Great job with this one. Cheers
a good representative video but an interesting forgotten point is that from 1905/6 British mounted soldiers from all arms of service would wrap the puttee upside down so it was tied at the bottom at the ankle. this was to stop the stirrup leather rubbing against the tying string and causing it to loosen and unwind.
Another great video, the trousers are a good stand in. The storage of the saddle makes one wonder what or if there is much more army storage treasure, locked away and forgotten about. I suppose that ww1 really marked the end of horse ridden cavalry troops for front line battle, although I seem to remember the polish army in ww2 did use some in cavalry charges...unsure. I've just finished a book about the german retreat from the east in ww2 and how many ponies and horses were shot at various points to stop them falling into russian hands....same as the brits in ww1 as you said. Terrible waste and must of been a wrench for the troops having to do it. I also have a book upstairs that is about the British army in 1900 and it shows a cavalry trooper pulling his horse down and him taking cover behind it whilst using his carbine. It was a photo of a drill so the horse hadn't been killed , I wonder if this was standard practice of the period?....maybe in ww1. I do like the end of your videos with sound effects!, cheers 😊😊😊😊😊
Very nice 👍 I did WW1 British living history for many years, the WW1 British uniform is one of my favourites to wear, I found it very comfortable including the puttees. I used the 1922 pattern tunic for my impression as well. Great video thanks for sharing.
Great video mate currently putting together my ww1 British cavalry saddle set up. Currently have German and French ww1 and 2 saddles but still on the look out for British. Especially the bridle. Thats a great collection you have mate very lucky. If you have any questions about the bridles or how anything goes on the horses let me know. I’ve got 3 of my own :)
When most people think of the Germans in WW2 they picture fast moving panzer tanks but they did use a large ammount of horses all through the War and yes I’m sure there are warehouses full of stuff out there

That’s an interesting bit of info thanks

Horses were original hamburgers
Ride with a flag. Spell corrector gone mad.
