This is the re-edit of a live broadcast with Historian Mark Thompson. We discussed British cavalry of the Peninsular War. How were they trained? What were their strengths and their weaknesses? In which battles did they perform well? Mark has written many books on the era. This is his excellent book on the lines of Torres Vedras - https://amzn.to/3thM6k7 and this one on Wellington's favourite engineer - https://amzn.to/3rAUVVO If you are interested in the Zulu War, then please sign up for my mailing list to receive my free book on the subject: https://redcoathistory.com/newsletter/ If you are very generous, you can also buy me a coffee and help support the channel via https://ko-fi.com/redcoathistory
