This volume looks at the Turkish Imperial, and Egyptian Army Cavalry from the 1870s till after the First World War. From 1879, there was introduction of a set of standardized and regulated uniforms and insignia, and the Turkish Cavalry consisted of its Dragoon and Lancer, Hamidiye, and Mounted Gendarme Regiments. This volume then looks at Turkish Imperial, and later Nationalist Army Cavalry uniforms during the First World War, and Greek-Turkish War. The Egyptian Cavalry divides into two main periods, before and after 1883 (when the new Egyptian Army was formally raised). Following changes in the British Army over the same period, the Egyptian Army after 1885 saw introduction of the field service khaki uniform, in addition to its traditional summer and winter dress, which was relegated to Barracks wear.
