War in Morocco-Arab and Moorish cavalry,1844. Creator: Unknown.
Caption:
War in Morocco - Arab and Moorish cavalry, 1844. 'The Emperor of Morocco has not a part in his dominions that might not be taken by a frigate and two bomb-vessels in less than four hours. His army is a farce, and their mode of warfare perfectly childish...The ordnance is dangerously useless...the Emperor could at no time gather or hold together 100,000 fighting men, and these comprising a host of such ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-armed ragamuffins...From their bigoted habit of excluding from their country all Europeans, and from the little experience they have gathered of European war tactics, it will be some years...before they will be able to make any stand against the French...The annexed engraving will convey an idea of the Arab cavalry, the Emperor?s chief forces, against whom the French troops have to contend'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I.
