This week we welcome historian and broadcaster Lucy Betteridge-Dyson who wants to take apart the war horse, the cavalry and their role and reputation in the First World War.

She talks to us about how the cavalry are far from an outdated institution, that they are vital, and that animal sacrifice was never forgotten.

You can follow Lucy on Twitter @LMBD1418 and read her many blogs and articles at www.lucybetteridgedyson.com.

You can follow History Rage on Twitter @HistoryRage and let us know what you wish people would just stop believing using the Hashtag #HistoryRage.
