On His Majesty's Service

January 1829: George IV is on the throne, Wellington is England's prime-minister, and snow is falling thickly on the London streets as Lieutenant-Colonel Matthew Hervey is summoned to the Horse Guards in the expectation of command of his regiment, the 6th Light Dragoons. But the benefits of long-term peace at home mean cuts in the army.

Dragonii. Dar beneficiile pacii pe termen lung la domiciliu inseamna reduceri in armata.
