I also have somewhere an article from Horse & Hound on hunts and the military although I think was more to do with the tactical training value due to 'reading the ground' and the 'lie of the land'. There is another somewhere on the Warwicks Regt Hunt. I shall keep looking. As you would expect the Yeomanry did not have Regimental Hunts as they would be part of the local hunting community - which was large and there were many hunts in close proximity. There are a couple of photos somewhere of some Northumberland Hussars officers hunting in Mesopotamia. I really should file my notes and articles better! I may have to wait until I next visit Nottingham to get my Baily's. Chris Last edited by CAM; 11-06-20 at 10:01 PM. Reason: spelling |
