Millholland, published by The Telegraph Press in 1929. Built for officers, non-commissioned officers and troopers preparing for regimental qualification boards, the volume runs as a question-and-answer study framework covering mounted and dismounted doctrine, small-arms musketry under TR 145-5, dismounted scouting and combat patrol movement under TR 200-5, military map reading, guard mount procedures and horse management. The accompanying laid-in folding study chart, "The Points of the Horse", follows the 58-point equine anatomy standard established by the U.S. Army Cavalry School at Fort Riley, Kansas, marking the exterior points used for veterinary triage, mount inspection and equitation examinations. The Telegraph Press of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania operated under Major General Edward J. Stackpole Jr. of the 104th Cavalry and published practical field manuals for the interwar armed forces. The ownership inscription is believed to be that of Sergeant J. S. Beakey of Headquarters Troop, 112th Cavalry Regiment, the mounted Texas National Guard unit organized across Fort Worth and Dallas within the 56th Cavalry Brigade, which held Rio Grande patrol duties before its dismounted Pacific deployment in the Second World War. …

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

Shipping terms
DOMESTIC SHIPPING:
We offer a choice of media mail (when applicable), first class, priority and/or expedited whenever possible. Choices for shipping methods vary and will appear at checkout (as well as additional opportunities to purchase insurance, extra insurance, etc.). All domestic orders include tracking.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
International shipping has become increasingly complex, but we do our best to keep up. If you have any questions regarding shipping to your country, feel free to reach out before you order. We will do our best to give you an exact quote.
All international orders include tracking and insurance. Expedited orders generally ship via USPS, DHL or Priority Mail International depending on the destination. Consolidated shipping is usually via Asendia or a similar, reliable carrier.
**VAT, Fees & Taxes: **
Where your country requires, and when under the value threshold set by your country, VAT is collected at checkout and remitted by the marketplace you ordered through. Any additional fees, duties, or taxes your country or carrier charges upon arrival are the buyer's responsibility (collected by your postal service or carrier when the package is delivered). The one exception is the European Union (see below).
The European Union:
As of 2026, the EU has added a new customs duty on every parcel entering the Union. Because of this, we are now required to prepay all duty and customs (DDP) before shipping, which is why you may notice that our EU rates run significantly higher than other countries. Additionally, on orders over 150 Euros, the full VAT tax due, over and above €150, is most often not collected by marketplaces at checkout. We may contact you through the marketplace you ordered to collect these additional VAT fees before shipping.
Typical speeds:
Although customs and overseas carrier delays sometimes happen and are outside of our control, the following should be a good guide (Business days only). If you need it faster, feel free to reach out. Sometimes we can achieve the “almost” impossible :)
Canada: Standard 10 to 21 days; Expedited, 6 to 12 days
United Kingdom: Standard 2 to 3 weeks; Expedited, 4 to 7 days by courier
European Union: 6 to 12 days by courier
Australia and New Zealand: Standard 2 to 4 weeks; Expedited, 6 to 12 days
Japan, Asia, and the Middle East: Standard 2 to 4 weeks; Expedited, 1 to 2 weeks
