This print depicts the 1st Hussars of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) during their cavalry charge at the Battle for Iwuy, fought on October 10-11, 1918, in northern France. The event is notable as one of the last significant cavalry actions undertaken by Canadian forces in the First World War. Facing well-entrenched German positions, the 1st Hussars played a prominent role in supporting infantry and exploiting breakthroughs amid challenging conditions of trench warfare and mechanized defense. The image accurately represents the uniforms, equipment, and horses typical of Canadian cavalry units of the period. The print serves as a visual reference for collectors and historians interested in Canadian military history and the evolution of cavalry tactics during the late stages of World War I. The Battle for Iwuy contributed to the final series of Allied advances that led to the Armistice in November 1918. Dimensions and printing details are available upon request.
