dc.description	Contrary to predictions that the role of the horse in war was over when it was effectively replaced by mechanisation in the Second World War, it still plays a small but important role in military operations. In the late South West African campaign and now in unrest areas in the Transvaal and Natal the mounted infantrymen still perform a service in combat and in keeping the peace.
