I Like this! But, of course, in the U.K, we do have Horsed Cavalry and RHA… although, the way things are going, we might need their skills… ;) |

The UK is not alone – Lord Strathcona's Horse (regular forces armoured regiment with Leopard MBTs) also has a horsed cavalry ceremonial unit – and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police musical ride are essentially lancers link |

The US Army still has a troop of horse mounted cavalry also… link |

Everybody likes a parade with Horse Cav or AFVs. However both have many pluses & minuses. E.g. Horse or tracks chewing up the road, etc. etc. |

The T34 was rated very highly … As we see it proved to be a very good design. Plus they made a whole bunch of them ! |
