Colonel Arthur Owen Vaughan (pseudonym Owen Roscomyl), Welsh nationalist and adventurer, together with a short history of the Regiment which was his brainchild, and which rendered such distinguished service in the Great War of 1914-1918 (WW1). He was cowboy, gold miner, hunter, soldier, novelist, historian, playwright, and manager of the Welsh National Drama Company. The story of this remarkable Welshman (now largely forgotten), and how he raised, almost single-handed, the Regiment of Welsh Horse Yeomanry at the beginning of WW1.

(Subject: World War I - General) The Welsh Horse Yeomanry was formed in 1914, their Commanding Officer being a figure of some controversy. He was a cowboy, gold miner, hunter, and a playwright, but above all he was a Welsh Nationalist. He raised the Regiment almost single handedly, but his outspoken views antagonised powerful interests. This is the story of the subsequent scandal of his treatment, and his regiment's service in Palestine and on the Western Front in WWI.
