What about the Original Grey's Scouts? https://www.amazon.com/Equus-Men-Rhodesias-Infantry-1896-1980/dp/1910294047
Why does the article only include from 1975? The whole reason for the name was to revive the historical imagery...
From the Amazon link:
This all new work by accomplished military historian Alexandre Binda, former paymaster to the Grey’s Scouts, tables the remarkable story of Rhodesia’s mounted infantry, the Grey’s Scouts. Working closely with the last commanding officer, squadron commanders and a whole host of regimental personalities, all of whom have given The Equus Men their unequivocal support Binda has enjoyed unparalleled access to thousands of pages of archival documents and many hundreds of previously unpublished photographs. Here, he has traced the Grey’s from their early origins in the Matabele Rebellion of 1896, where an ‘unassuming Englishman, the Honorable George Grey’, found himself originating a body of horseman named the ‘Bulawayo Field Force’, through to the formation of the Animal Transport Unit (ATU) which went on to become the Mounted Infantry Unit (MIU). 47.187.211.200 (talk) 15:27, 22 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
