... that German cavalry carried a steel lance(example pictured) throughout the First World War? "it was this Model 1893 lance which was used by all German cavalry that were not redeployed as infantry during World War I and, from 1915 when swords were beginning to be withdrawn from field use, became these troops' only weapon of mounted shock action" from: Larsen, Alan; Yallop, Henry (21 November 2017). The Cavalry Lance. Bloomsbury USA. p. 12. ISBN978-1-4728-1618-4.
Overall: Just one image licensing related query. Is commons:File:Eskadron der Reichswehr 1928.jpg in the public domain in the US as well? And if it isn't then can it be used in the article? DTM (talk) 09:04, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
