"The History of Lumsden's Horse" by Henry H. S. Pearse is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This text chronicles the formation and activities of Lumsden's Horse, a corps of Indian volunteers organized to fight in the South African campaign during a time of significant imperial conflict. The narrative emphasizes the patriotic spirit that led soldiers from various backgrounds to come together for a common cause, reflecting broader themes of loyalty and sacrifice within the context of the British Empire. The opening of the book sets the stage for the regiment's illustrious history by detailing the motivations and initiatives behind its formation. Colonel Dugald Lumsden is introduced as the driving force behind the effort to raise the corps, focusing on how he galvanized British residents and the local communities in India to support the cause even as the South African War faced challenges. Pearse elaborates on the logistical and bureaucratic hurdles overcome to equip the corps, the enthusiastic responses from volunteers, and the communal spirit echoing through their preparations for active service, all highlighting the significant contributions and camaraderie that characterized Lumsden's Horse.
