Mounted Band 1935



This photo was taken on Armistice Day (November 11th) 1935 while the 8th Hussars were serving in Egypt. It was the last mounted parade before the regiment was mechanised. The band may have continued to ride horses on certain occasions. Certainly the drumhorse would have featured in public displays. The regiment served in Palestine in the following year.
