		Cavalry didn't form part of a division unless specially assigned, as it was in the case of the seven divisions mentioned above.
		This was a radical departure for the U.S. Army, although the French apportioned their cavalry in much this way before the war (and so, by happy accident, were well-served when the war became a stalemate on the WF).
		This shows some additional use of cavalry in support of US troops over what I thought to be the case, and it also shows that perhaps cavalry was somewhat more viable, in some roles, in Europe in WWI than we imagine.
