glengyle Posted 27 September , 2012 Share Posted 27 September , 2012 Could someone tell me where 3rd Hussar recruits did their training in August 1913? Also, were there any particular areas that the 3rd Hussars recruited from? ExRN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glengyle Posted 27 September , 2012 Author Share Posted 27 September , 2012 Moonraker Your absolutely right. I've been going around in circles for so long I've forgotten where I've been! And still no closer. ExRN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 28 September , 2012 Share Posted 28 September , 2012 Well, apart from Irish regiments (and, I assume, The 2nd Dragoons (Royal Scots Greys)), recruitment for cavalry was not regional: a recruit could request a specific regiment, but would only be posted there if vacancies existed (for example, the 11th Hussars (PAO) were apparently very popular because of the cherry bums. The cavalry was never allocated territorialy like the infantry. I'll check on the recruit training thing: I'm really not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
