Thirteenth Hussars Old Comrades Association.

This Association--originally called the “Old Comrades Dinner Club”--was formed in accordance with a suggestion made at a meeting held at the Office of the 13th Hussars Association, on Saturday, 1st March 1913, under the Presidency of Lieut.-Colonel E. A. Wiggin, when a large number of past and present officers of the Regiment were present, also a good number of late N.C.O.’s and men. A committee was formed, and it was decided to start a Club of Old Comrades of the Regiment under the title of “The Old Comrades Dinner Club,” for the purpose of holding an Annual Dinner.

The Annual Dinner is held on the fourth Saturday in October.

All retired officers, non-commissioned officers, and men whose addresses are known have been invited to enrol themselves as members.

Men of the Regiment of good character on taking their discharge are eligible for election, and are requested to send their names and addresses to the Hon. Secretary.

The Annual Subscription is 2s. 6d.

Invitations to the dinner are sent to members and (amongst others) to all Chelsea Pensioners of the Regiment who come as guests of the Association.

The Association has been the means of assisting many past members of the Regiment to obtain employment, and is very largely resorted to by men in need of help and advice.

Donations and subscriptions to the funds of the Association should be sent to the Hon. Secretary, from whom all particulars as to membership and otherwise can be obtained.

PRINTED BY WILLIAM BLACKWOOD AND SONS. FOOTNOTES:

[Footnote 1: It may be noted that Hannibal’s invasion of Italy led, two thousand years later, to the recognition of the influence of sea power on history. Admiral Mahan himself described to the writer how it one day occurred to him that Hannibal’s long march from Spain to Italy had been necessitated by the Roman strength at sea, and that this was the underlying cause of his eventual ruin. Following up the train of thought, Mahan gradually worked out his great conception. Hannibal’s march was the germ from which it sprang.]

[Footnote 2: Captain Gubbins, Lieutenants Geale and Pymm.]

[Footnote 3: Oriental names in this book are not always spelt consistently on one scientific system. For example, it has not been thought proper to alter the original spelling in letters quoted, or to correct well-known names such as Lucknow or Bangalore.]

[Footnote 4: Captain Norman Neill, afterwards killed on the Western Front.]

[Footnote 5: In 1885 England was for a time on the point of war with Russia. The outburst of feeling in India was the same then as in 1914, and should not have been forgotten.]

[Footnote 6: This Regiment, it may be noted, was named after Colonel Skinner, the founder of the Bengal Cavalry system. He was the son of a Scotch officer and a Rajputni girl, so he had fighting blood on both sides.]

[Footnote 7: See Appendix IV.]

[Footnote 8: See Appendix II.]

[Footnote 9: The inefficiency of German Cavalry in all but mass manœuvring was only what Henderson’s criticisms on their work in 1870 had already pointed out. See the ‘Science of War.’]

[Footnote 10: Lieutenant J. V. Dawson.]

[Footnote 11: “We” being the Indian Cavalry Corps.]

[Footnote 12: Privates J. Tracey and D. Pitman.]

[Footnote 13: As to the value of its work in Europe opinions differed. Some seemed to think little of it. Some declared that during the time when English reinforcements were not yet ready to go into line, the Indian contingent had saved the British Army from being overwhelmed. Both these views were perhaps extreme. The Indian soldier fought under serious disadvantage in the climate and surroundings of Europe, but undoubtedly he fought with great devotion and suffered heavy losses, for which England owes him deep gratitude. The matter may well be allowed to rest there.]

[Footnote 14: Beluchistan may for practical purposes be regarded as a part of India.]

[Footnote 15: In 1854, when the Regiment went to the Russian War, it is recorded that on one of the transports “the beef had made several voyages to and from India, and then been returned into store. Some barrels of peas even bore the date 1828 plainly painted thereon. It was impossible to boil them--also the pork (salt) was as aged as the salt beef, and as bad.” The _Islanda_ was better than this.]

[Footnote 16: Australians.]

[Footnote 17: Bombay.]

[Footnote 18: European privates’ tents, with double roof and sides--as some protection against heat.]

[Footnote 19: General Cobbe did in fact command an Army Corps later on, but the command-in-chief went to General Maude.]

[Footnote 20: Caprice, his favourite mare, had been left at Bombay among the sick horses.]

[Footnote 21: Arab Village.]

[Footnote 22: Arab Village.]

[Footnote 23: Expeditionary Force Canteen.]

[Footnote 24: December.]

[Footnote 25: “Pusht i Kuh,” or Back of the Mountains, is the district so called by the Persians, their western district.]

[Footnote 26: Captain Eve, the senior Captain, was then second in command of the Regiment, owing to the absence of Major Twist, disabled, and on the particular day, as Colonel Richardson was on other duty, Eve had taken the Regiment into action. Captain Steele was next in seniority.]

[Footnote 27: The man was Private T. O’Connor. In a letter from Mesopotamia to Mr Justice Eve he writes: “I was the last ammunition-carrier to get wounded that day, and your son and Captain Steele came out under heavy machine-gun fire and carried me in as we evacuated that position that night, thus saving me from being taken prisoner. There is no need to tell you he was loved in the squadron, as we have missed him as one of the finest soldiers and leaders of men any soldier could wish to follow.”]

[Footnote 28: The horse casualties from fire had been numerous, and many horses had been lost from fatigue and exposure.]
