'Theirs Not to Reason Why' provides the first comprehensive study of the British Army's horse services between 1875-1923, including the use of horses in the 1899-1902 Anglo-Boer and the 1914-18 wars. There is a particular focus on the military procurement of horses in relation to the domestic horse breeding industry, foreign supply in times of war, the debate about mechanization versus the horse and an integrated military transport system.
