WWII Imperial Japanese Army Horse Driving Manual 1940 Training Handbook Cavalry

  

This is an original 1940 (Showa 15) Imperial Japanese Army Horse Driving Manual , officially approved by the Ministry of the Army and published by Fujitani Bunko. It contains 128 pages of detailed instructions used by infantry, engineers, and transport troops for the training and operation of military horses.

During World War II, Japan still relied heavily on horse-drawn transport, especially in rugged terrains of China and Southeast Asia where motor vehicles were impractical. It even includes a fold-out training chart and diagrams of equipment used. This is not just a driving guide-it's a glimpse into the Japanese Army's logistical backbone, revealing how warfare was sustained behind the front lines. An excellent and rare collector's item for WWII historians, equestrian militaria collectors, or those seeking insight into pre-mechanized military operations.
