The Belgians employed these cars extensively in the first month of the war, in their attempt to prevent the raids of the German cavalry.

In state reviews the Crown Princess often appears in her Death's Head uniform as honorary colonel. Naturally, German noblemen are eager to join this regiment, which is one of the "crack" organizations of the Prussian army.

The horses are then lifted into the vessel by means of a belt around their bellies. Some of the jackies have taken off their shoes and stockings and rolled up their trousers. The artilleryman, partly hidden behind his mount, is dressed in khaki.

The picture shows a formal review, the regimental band playing parade music as the Guard marches by. Only a few days before the war broke out, President Poincare, of France, reviewed these famous troops of the Czar in St. Petersburg--now Petrograd.

The Royal Horse were among the first contingent of 33,000 to embark--Canada pledged 200,000 altogether. Canadian horses are noted for their strength and beauty. They play a large part in the development of Canada's rich agricultural resources, and the Royal Artillery took the finest of Canadian horses across with them.

The Germans demonstrated their marvelous efficiency in the "art of war" by keeping the existence of these fort-destroyers a complete secret until they were ready to use them against Belgium and France.
