Cavalry – SANGHA KOMMUNE (SSR)

Surrey: Royal Army Veterinary Corps (RAVC) – Horse Ambulance (Mark II – Converted Bullock-Cart)! (29.5.2026)

When horses were hurt (and not automatically shot) they were transported in the type of conveyance pictured above – but I think this might have been rare (new horses were acquired quicker than wounded horses could heal). At the end of WWI, many thousands of conscripted horses were gathered on the beaches of France – after serving the UK loyally (even participating in cavalry charges against machine-guns) – and instead of being shipped back to England and discharged to their owners, the UK government (probably Churchill) ordered them “shot”. The bullet was cheaper than the shipping and compensation owned. Of course, although some horses were used in WWII (1939-1945) – technology had improved dramatically and horses were not required as they were two-decades previously. From a compassionate perspective it would be good to think that all British horses had access to above level of care – but reality is not built upon fairy-tales. Only the lucky few (probably the horses of high-up Officers) were subject to this kind of care. This British Army Ambulance appears to have the battle honour of “Normandy”!

LA: Soviet Red Flag on US Streets – as Trump Deploys Mounted Police in Chinatown! (10.6.2025)

! Some are calling parallels to the 1968 Tet Offensive in South Vietnam – where Vietcong guerrilla units came out of domestic homes, offices, and deeply-dug tunnels to attack the US Authorities, the US Army, the puppet South Vietnamese Army (ARVN) – and the oppressive Catholic Church! The Vietnamese Buddhist community showed solidarity by advanced monks and nuns burning themselves out of protest against US imperialism! From the North, the North Vietnamese Army (Regulars) attacked over the boundary marked by the 38th Parallel that temporarily separated North Vietnam from South Vietnam. Of course, North Vietnam still possessed extraordinary people such as Ho Chi Minh and General Giap (amongst many other talented individuals) – at a time when the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) was staunchly Marxist-Leninist-Maoist (things would change later – but we mustn’t dwell on that now)! The far-left in the West is in a sorry state today following more than a hundred years of continuous oppression, suppression, and unjustified attack.

Historical British Army “Ranks” & “Formations”! (30.8.2024)

01/09/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

There are a number of exceptions to this observation. In 1571, for instance, Queen Elizabeth I raised the “Holland Regiment”. Monck’s Regiment of Foot served the Parliamentary Cause during the English Civil Wars and is today better known as the “Coldstream Guards”. The “Royal Regiment of Guards” fought for King Charles I during the English Civil Wars and is today known as the “Grenadier Guards”. It seems that early examples of the use of the “Regiment” designation might have included newly formed units with no fighting history or direct links to a British geographical location. These attributes had to be earned through blood and honour. However, eventually very well-establish military units seem to have voluntarily taken on this designation – or been given it by the British government.

Ukraine: Grave of Red Army Cavalryman Desecrated! (11.6.2022)

And then yesterday (following the announcement of the Death Sentences for the foreign members of the Hitlerite Azov Battalion) Zelensky ordered his Neo-Nazi thugs to dug up the grave of this Red ArmyThr Hero and desecrate his remains as a matter of revenge! The message is clear – how dare the Russians stand up to Western imperislism in the past and in the present!

USSR: Red Army Cavalry 1938 Model ‘Carbine’ (17.5.2022)

17/05/2022 Adrian (釋大道)

The concept of the ‘carbine’ may well have originated during the late 1500s in France and referred to the weapon these ‘Light’ Cavalrymen used to carry. In this instance, this may well have been a ‘slang’ term used in the French language which referred to mounted archers from Flanders who were considered deadly shots and sure bringers of ‘death’! (The association is unclear but may refer to an assumed connection between the ‘carrion beetle’ and the ‘plague’, etc). Whatever the origin, a ‘carbine’ appears to refer to a ‘short’ and highly effective weapon carried when sat in the saddle and used when riding the horse whether into or out of battle. The 1938 ‘Carbine’ Model measured just 1020 mm (or 3.4 feet) long (minus a bayonet) – and fired a round measuring 7.62 mm! The ‘Carbine’ Model 1938 was sighted to fire up to 1000 meters! The Izhevsk Machine-Manufacturing Plant was the only place equipped for producing this ‘Carbine’ between 1941-1942 – during the height of the ‘Great Patriotic war’ – when the workers of this factory produced over 1,106,510 which were sent immediately for frontline service!
