Frederick's purpose was to roll up the enemy from their inner flank, and while Prince Dietrich, with most of the troops that had forced the Saxons out of the marsh, pursued Weissenfels, two regiments of his and one of Dumoulin's were brought over to the left wing and sent against the north side of Giinthersdorf.

 cavalry: Definition and Much More from Answers.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Infantry who moved on horseback but dismounted to fight on foot were in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries known as dragoons, a class of mounted troops which later evolved into cavalry proper while retaining their historic title.
In the early American Civil War cavalry regiments were recruited to full capacity very quickly in many states, but the infantry played a much larger role in many battles due to its larger numbers and much easier recruitment.
At the beginning of the 20th century all armies still maintained substantial cavalry forces although there was contention over whether their role should revert to that of mounted infantry (the historic dragoon function).
