Title: The Frontiersmen in Belgium 1914

Description: “A number of the South East Lancs Squadron, commanded by Capt. Nowell, went to London to be inspected..by Lord Kitchener...The rest of us who could get away, numbering 22, paid our passages to Ostend, and joined the 3rd Belgian Lancers, but kept our identity, calling ourselves the British Colonial Horse.” .. Writing in 1931, in his Chorus to Adventurers, Roger Pocock refers to them being in action from 17th October 1914. ....At the end of January, 1915, an order came through (probably originating from the British War Office) to disband the detachment.
