Indeed, on this consideration, if on no other, would Dawes have Scouted the imputed blood-drinking custom as absolutely mythical, for no one has a greater horror of coming in contact with human blood that he has not himself shed than the Zulu, and even when he has shed it, he takes the earliest opportunity of undergoing a very elaborate series of purifying rites.
"The Luck of Gerard Ridgeley"
Bertram Mitford
So the cavalry has had its chance again after the old far-off days when they rode up the Mont des Cats and chased Uhlans through Meteren, and Scouted along the Messines Ridge in the autumn of 1914. There have been no great sensational episodes, no shock of lance against lance in dense masses, no cutting up of rear-guards nor slashing into a routed army, but there has been a great deal of good scouting work during the past three weeks.

Me and a party Scouted the mountain once.
