Summary "The Thirteenth Hussars in the Great War" by H. Mortimer Durand is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the experiences and contributions of the Thirteenth Hussars, a British cavalry regiment, during World War I. It aims to honor the regiment's history while reflecting on the role of cavalry in modern warfare and the lessons learned during the Great War. The opening of the book establishes that its primary focus will be on the Thirteenth Hussars' service over the last decade, particularly during the recent global conflict. Durand introduces the earlier history of the regiment succinctly, suggesting detailed accounts have been published previously. The narrative initially delves into the history of cavalry, emphasizing its significance in warfare and its evolution in tactics and strategies over millennia. This historical context serves to frame the discussion about the Thirteenth Hussars and their actions during the Great War, preparing the reader for a deeper exploration of the regiment's contributions to military events and the changing dynamics of cavalry in battle.
