Excerpt from Cavalry Reconnaissance Tms work has been written with a View to assisting young cavalry oflicers to study the art of reconnaissance, and to instruct their men. A number of historical examples have been given in the introduction with the double object of bringing out the importance of information in war, and of providing a series of incidents from actual war which may be of use to make troop and squadron lectures more interesting. For the rest it has been sought to illustrate and amplify those excellent principles laid down in our regulations, and to bring forward certain details on which they are, for want of space, silent, and on which there are no guides for the young officer.
