Brigadier-General le Comte de Mylcandonai, OC Horse Guards Brigade, to Major de Toilette, OC 3rd Sqn ALC Major de Toilette > I > hope you can excuse the enthusiasm of my youth, which has driven me to the > statement, that the ALC was a braver regiment than the glorious Dragoon > Guards. As I recall, the false and libelous statement which generated so much anger within the ranks of the Dragoons Guards was to the effect that we invariably showed our backs to the enemy. Am I to take the above as a retraction of, and apology for, this statement? Brigadier le Comte de Mylcandonai
