Organisation and Mission of Hussar Regiments in the Allied Forces II.

(The Netherlands, Canada, United Kingdom)

Abstract

The Hungarian Hussars are the Hungarian light cavalrymen, who during the last half thousand years have influenced and even changed the military warfare. Sharing best practices, Hungarian Hussars trained and helped to create Hussar Corps in 34 countries of the world. Although over time and with technological progress the war-fighting era of the  Hussar troops fighting on horseback has all passed in the twentieth century, but not the hussars themselves. Continuing the previous article that was about Hussar units of Denmark and France, in this article my main goal is to introduce the organisation and mission of the Hussar units of Dutch, Canadian and British Armed Forces.
