| Summary | "The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry, and 14th (F. & F. Yeo.) Battn. R.H. 1914-1919" by Major D.D. Ogilvie is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book details the experiences and engagements of the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry during World War I, chronicling their journey from mobilization to service in various theatres of war, including Gallipoli, Egypt, and Palestine. Through a mix of official records and personal anecdotes, it captures the bravery and hardships faced by the soldiers in combat and their transition from cavalry to infantry roles. The opening of this historical account sets the stage for the Yeomanry's mobilization at the outbreak of war in August 1914, describing the rapid organization and preparation required for active service. Ogilvie describes the initial chaotic yet determined efforts to assemble the regiment, including the challenges of equipment and training while highlighting the camaraderie and spirit of the men. The narrative emphasizes the urgency of their training and the excitement of impending deployment, serving as a prelude to the trials they would soon face in battle.
