British cavalry lancers, France Size:XL: 100 x 75cm 2nd May 1949British cavalry lancers, France, 1914. Dismounted cavalrymen of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) walking alongside their horses and carrying their lances, watched by French civilians. Machine guns, artillery and the nature of the terrain quickly rendered the use of cavalry obsolete on the Western Front, particularly when the conflict became one of trench warfare.
