Thats because fucking idiots,like Kitchener and other 'old boys' were in command and had no concept of modern warfare,at all.Using Calvery charges against machine guns,too.They gambled high stakes with mens lives and lost big time.Lee Enfield .303 bolt-actions against 7.92mm Maxims,were useless.Another reason why Britain lost North America,because of jerkoffs in charge and didn't know how to fight wars properly.

yea. cavalry can be useful but it is only effective in a wide open field and if the enemy is unprepared or in a rout. cavalry could still be used effectively today if used right as can spearmen. if you're in a trench, use spearmen and they can jab soldiers as they fall into the trenches.
