\'In 1899, fiery Col.Sir Aubrey Wools-Sampson, Major Karri Davies, [and] Sir Percy Fitzpatrick among others met in secret in Johannesburg to form a regiment of Colonial irregulars, to fight for the Uitlander cause - thus was born the famous Imperial Light Horse... Light Horse Cavalcade carries the reader through every campaign of South African military history from 1899 onwards - the Zulu Rebellion in 1906, the revolt and strikes on the Rand, the tragic 1914 rebellion, the campaign in South West Africa in 1915, the battle of Ellis Park in 1922, through to the undying glory of the 1st and 2nd South African Divisions in the Western Desert campaigns, and the 6th South African Armoured Division in Italy,\' (front flap), 200pp. with black and white photographs, maps and lists of honours and awards. Book condition: very good, near fine, end-papers slightly spotted; jacket condition: good, though with heavily chipped and creased edges, and worn spine.
