Context (Event Photos, Primary Sources, Secondary Sources, Field Notes)
* Quaritch-Wales 1952 p94
"Neither Siamese nor Cambodians had much in the way of cavalry, nor did they know how to make the best use of the small force of horse that they had. From the old Siamese battle arrays, it can be seen that cavalry were nearly always represented, bur both their strength and mode of employment are obscure."
* Quaritch-Wales 1952 p122 (citing Siamese Palatine Law)
"If a cavalryman lights and kills a man, he shall be rewarded with a gold basin and with cloth and shall be raised in rank."
