LETTER XX CONCERNING THE POSTING OF HORSE ARTILLERY TO THE CAVALRY DIVISION When I finished my last letter, I thought that I had spoken about nearly everything that I could have to mention with regard to cavalry. But you notice that I have hardly said anything concerning the question of attaching horse artillery to the cavalry division. I omitted it because the subject of the use of horse artillery in combination with the cavalry division has more to do with a discussion concerning artillery. But if you wish to know my opinion with regard to the amount of horse artillery which should be attached to a cavalry division, I must continue to you my remarks upon cavalry. In the last war the posting of horse artillery to the cavalry divisions was carried out on very varying principles. We find cavalry divisions of 24 squadrons with 18 guns (the Guard), cavalry divisions of 36 squadrons with 12 guns (the 5th), others of 24 squadrons with 12 guns (the 2d and 4th), one of 20 squadrons with 6 guns (the 6th), two of 16 squadrons with 6 guns (the 3d and 12th), and one of 24 squadrons with 6 guns (the 1st). Moreover, in the Baden, Wurttcmberg, and Bavarian contingents there were cavalry brigades which were not formed in divisions, and which each had 6 guns, but had no artillery permanently told off to them. According to an old theory 3 or 4 guns of horse artillery ought to be attached to each 1000 troopers. This estimate has no practical foundation, and was settled only in accordance with the proportions which then existed. The regulations leave this an open question, but take into consideration the possibility that a single battery of horse artillery might be attached to a cavalry division. This is shown by the words (para. 224, No. 2), "if more than...

Download or read book Letters from Lee s Army written by Charles Minor Blackford and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Minor Blackford was a Virginia aristocrat who fought for the Confederacy as much out of obligation to his class and region as for political reasons. Letters from Lee's Army presents the correspondence between Captain Blackford and his wife, Susan Leigh Blackford, during the war. While Captain Blackford writes of the rigors of campaigning-the dramatically bad food, the constant dysentery, the cold and wet-we see the stoic Susan Blackford gradually relying less and less on her husband to make decisions. During the course of the war Susan Blackford lost her home, three children, and her belongings to the struggle, all without the camaraderie and sustaining sense of purpose known to the soldier. These letters emphasize the stresses that war and separation can place on a marriage. Blackford enlisted in the Second Virginia Cavalry at the outset of the war and in 1863 was posted to Longstreet's Corps. Most of his service was in northern Virginia around the Rappahannock and the Rapidan Rivers, in the Shenandoah Valley, and with Lee's army at Gettysburg. In 1864 Blackford went west with Longstreet's army to Chattanooga, and he returned with Longstreet for the war's final days. This Bison Books edition is introduced by Gordon C. Rhea, the author of The Battle of the Wilderness, May 5-6, 1864 and The Battles for Spotsylvania Court House and the Road to Yellow Tavern.

Download or read book Dearest Virginia written by Sam Lloyd Hunnicutt and published by TCU Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On May 29th, 1936, at the age of 27, Lloyd Hunnicutt graduated from Cavalry School in Fort Riley, Kansas, as a Second Lieutenant in the 124th Unit of the Texas Natonal Guard . . . . received his first promotion on November 18, 1940. Nineteen months later, he went to war in the South Pacific with the 112th Cavalry."--from the Introduction "A good old-fashioned siege of homesickness wouldn't be so bad--but these constantly recurring twinges of emptiness that occur when something unconsciously reminds me of you are a little hard to take. I don't see now how I even had the nerve to get on the train at Fort Clark. I know now why American soldiers always win their battles--they fight hard so they can get home to their wives and families. I think our greatest hardship is that there is no one near who loves us and to whom we can turn for comfort. Each of us must stand on his own feet at all times. But that is enough of that. Remember that without your love I would have no incentive for anything ever again."--Lloyd Hunnicutt, 1942, somewhere in the South Pacific In 1942 Captain Lloyd Hunnicutt shipped out for the Pacific. He left behind, in Fort Worth, Texas, his beloved and pregnant wife, Virginia. Captain Hunnicutt went first to the island of New Caledonia, a relatively safe and malaria-free island, and then to the jungles of New Guinea, where his men were bombarded by the Japanese and threatened by malaria. Dearest Virginia presents a selection of the letters he wrote his wife, sometimes two a day. Captain Hunnicutt could not tell Virginia where he was, but the letters reflect his experiences in the Pacific--his efforts to keep busy on ship, the importance he placed on reading, the pleasures of fresh food as opposed to C-rations. But above all, these are love letters, filled with longing and loneliness, philosophical musings on marriage and fidelity, and humor. Reflecting the feelings of service men and women everywhere in all wars, these letters are as poignant and relevant today as they were sixty years ago. Of his concern for his wife's pregnancy, he wrote, "I don't want you scared by an automobile or anything this late--the baby might have a voice like a Chevrolet horn!" The baby was a girl, named Gayle, who moved to England and became a well-known actress. Clearing out her parents' home when her mother moved to an assisted living facility, she found the letters from her father, stashed them away for later, and eventually spent months sorting, choosing, and condensing them to produce this book. Unfortunately, Captain Hunnicutt was required for security reasons to destroy any letters he received, so none of Virginia's correspondence survives. Gayle Hunnicutt contributed a lengthy memoir, rich with her memories of her parents and a childhood in Fort Worth. First published in England by Kyle Cathie Ltd: Publishers--2004.

Download or read book Letters from the Light Brigade written by Anthony Dawson and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Charge of the Light Brigade is one of the most famous, controversial and emotive small-scale actions in military history. Over the 160 years since the event, and since it was immortalized in Tennyson's poem, it has generated a stream of writing and debate. Yet, as this new book by Anthony Dawson shows, the subject is far from exhausted. His selection of previously unpublished letters and journal accounts of the two cavalry charges at the Battle of Balaklava is a notable addition to the literature on the Crimean War. It offers a direct insight into events on the battlefield as they were seen and understood by those who witnessed them and by those who took part. In their own words, and in the language of the time, the men who were there recorded what they knew and felt. 'Anthony Dawson's Letters from the Light Brigade offers us a rich source of authentic, very telling soldiers' experiences from the Crimean War. He presents this new collation with a concise, authoritative commentary on the deployment of the Light Brigade and its major actions in Crimea. Of course, that formation's famous charge at Balaklava is given due prominence, but not exclusively so. There are real gems of insight here, both historical and modern: much to fascinate and a great deal to learn. I for one, will never look at or describe the battles and battlefields of the Crimea again in quite the same way. Hence I am delighted to introduce and commend this work as a very valuable and compelling addition to the literature of the Crimean War.' From the foreword by Mungo Melvin, Major General (retired), President, British Commission for Military HistoryAs featured in the Yorkshire Post, Huddersfield Examiner, Yorkshire Standard and on BBC Radio Manchester.

Download or read book A Texas Cavalry Officer s Civil War written by Richard Lowe and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2005-04-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A volunteer officer with the 9th Texas Cavalry Regiment from 1861 to 1865, James Campbell Bates saw some of the most important and dramatic clashes in the Civil War's western and trans-Mississippi theaters. Bates rode thousands of miles, fighting in the Indian Territory; at Elkhorn Tavern in Arkansas; at Corinth, Holly Springs, and Jackson, Mississippi; at Thompson's Station, Tennessee; and at the crossing of the Etowah River during Sherman's Atlanta campaign. In a detailed diary and dozens of long letters to his family, he recorded his impressions, confirming the image of the Texas cavalrymen as a hard-riding bunch -- long on aggression and short on discipline. Bates's writings, which remain in the possession of his descendants, treat scholars to a documentary treasure trove and all readers to an enthralling, first-person dose of American history.
