A camel, whose intact skeleton has been found in a 300-year-old Austrian cellar, was probably ridden by the invading Ottoman army in 1683.

no, not a new invasion... just remnants of the last

Reading the article, I got to the part about the Polish cavalry... always liked
reading about them and seeing them in film. Quite striking.

We in the West owe quite a bit to those men on that day.

Here's a clip (not related specifically to the article, but recreation of
the winged hussars is always worth posting)

Maybe it's because I have lived in that region, or because my fiancee
is from Southern Austria, but the thought of that invasion always raises
my hackles.

Infanteers both, but we see the glory of the cavalry from time to time
