"With Cavalry in 1915" by Frederic Coleman is a historical account written during the early 20th century. It provides a detailed chronicle of the British cavalry's experiences during World War I, specifically focusing on the events surrounding the Second Battle of Ypres. The narrative explores the hardships of trench warfare, the valor of soldiers, and the dynamic between British and German forces during this critical period. The opening of the book introduces the author, who is one of the few remaining members of the original Royal Automobile Club Corps attached to the 1st Cavalry Division. He describes the dismal conditions in Flanders, his interactions with fellow officers, and the routines of military life during the winter of 1915. Coleman reflects on the extraordinary resilience and discipline of the British troops amidst the wet and muddy landscape, detailing various encounters along the front lines, including a poignant account of a temporary Christmas truce between opposing soldiers. His depiction captures the grim realities of war while hinting at the camaraderie and humor that could still thrive in such dire circumstances. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
