One of the last horse regiments in the British Army is the Jordan Frontier Force Cavalry
One of the last horse regiments in the British Army is the Jordan Frontier Force Cavalry Regiment.
It contains men of many races, including Arabs, Circassians, Druses, Armenians and some Jewish and mis officered by British Cavalry Officers descended from British Regiments and by local
officers who have obtained commissions from the ranks.
Th Regiment is mounted on Arab horses, which though smaller than English stock, some of which are used, are very sturdy and ideally suited to long arduous patrols. Discipline and training is of the British Cavalry standard. The force is equipped with modern arms and equipment including radio inter-communication equipment which renders it an extremely mobile unit.
The TJFF is at present patrolling the Turko-Syrian border to prevent illegal entry, smuggling of arms, drugs, cattle, etc. and other unlawful traffic. A typical squadron at Hambouchi on the Latakia - Aleppo road in Syria.
Picture shows: On being questioned by the patrol, a man with laden mules, protests against the suggestion that he may be carrying contraband.
November 1943

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing one of the last horse regiments in the British Army - the Jordan Frontier Force Cavalry Regiment. The image depicts a diverse group of men from various races, including Arabs, Circassians, Druses, Armenians, and even some Jewish soldiers. Led by both British Cavalry Officers descended from esteemed British Regiments and local officers who have risen through the ranks to obtain commissions. Mounted on sturdy Arab horses, slightly smaller than their English counterparts but perfectly suited for long arduous patrols, this regiment upholds discipline and training to the highest standards of the British Cavalry. Equipped with modern arms and cutting-edge radio inter-communication equipment that enhances their mobility as an elite unit. At present, this remarkable force is stationed along the Turko-Syrian border with a crucial mission: preventing illegal entry, smuggling activities involving arms or drugs, cattle trafficking, and other unlawful traffic. The photograph specifically showcases a typical squadron stationed at Hambouchi on the Latakia-Aleppo road in Syria during November 1943. Intriguingly captured within this frame is an interaction between one of these patrol units and a man accompanied by laden mules. As he faces questioning regarding his cargo's nature by diligent members of the cavalry regiment patrol team; he vehemently protests any suggestion that he may be carrying contraband. This evocative print serves as a powerful reminder of historical events while honoring those who served valiantly to protect borders against illicit activities during challenging times.
