Campaigns and Horses
These are the memoirs of Sergei Mamontov's time fighting with the horse artillery in south Russia with the Volunteer Army. It was also published in French as "Carnets de route d'un artilleur à cheval 1917-1920. Mes chevaux dans la poussière et dans la boue".
This is unusual is being such a detailed look at the war from the level of a serving soldier, yet one who was literate and kept a diary.
It is quite a long book (240 pages in A4), so I have broken it down into different periods in his career. In the VA period his unit worked initially with Cossack cavalry, then with the regular cavalry. Finally the period in the Crimea is enlivened by taking part in the raid on the Kuban.
