They were used during the 17th century by Marshal Turenne as remounts for his cavalry. During World War I, however, horses were used to pull artillery wagons and as remounts. Then he remounts the bicycle and away. He was second in command of the NSW and Queensland Remounts. Each summer the company remounts a production from the previous season. The Turks don't get any remounts. As demand for remounts declined in the 1940s, the Waler trade ended. In 1920, he became director of remounts at the War Office. All productions were either remounts of past Factory Theater shows or original works. He was discharged from this when the army took over the remounts in 1917.
