I just saw on the McGill Library web site that there is a recently published history of the 1st Hussars by Michael R. McNorgon called “The Gallant Hussars: a history of the 1st Hussards 1856 – 2001”. It is published by the 1st Hussars Cavalry fund in 2004.
Dose anyone have any information about this book. I could just borrow the copy from McGill, however this may be a book that I might be interested in buying. Is it still available, and if so where? Thank you. |

Thanks Mark,
Do you know if they will accept personal cheques, or will it have to be a money order? Also should the cheque be made out to the “1st Hussars Kit Shop” or to “1st Hussars Cavalry Fund”? I’ve found the following review of the book. http://www.journal.forces.gc.ca/engr...Reviews5_e.pdf |

Yes, that's correct. I can't tell you the history of the term, although you could probably find it through Google, but the following is a quote off the Canadian War Museum site giving a brief synopsis of the regiment being discussed here:
