What was the last calvary charge of world war 1?
The 19th Hussars charge at Brancourt on 8 October 1918 with just one month remaining in WW-1 may be the final horse mounted event in the Great War. It certainly wasn't the end of horses in the military. The US 2nd Cavalry finally dismounted in 1944. In WW-2 several nations still had and used mounted Cavalry. Notable among them were the Poles in the defense of their homeland, the Russian Cossacks, and the Italians. In the Phillipenes the US 26th Cavalry mounted a charge against Japanese Forces on Luzon on 16 January 1942. The Sikh Sowars of the British Front Force Cavalry also fought the Japanese on 21 March 1942 in Burma.

Did Nathan bedford Forrest survive the civil war?
Nathan Bedford Forrest began the war in a cavalry regiment and progressed quickly to a Colonel in command of a regiment. Later he became a cavalry general and commanded a cavalry Corps consisting of 2 Divisions of 2 brigades each. He was considered the most famous cavalry commander of the Civil War and one of the bravest. He was wounded several times and had many horses shot out from under him. After one battle, his cavalry was in charge of holding back the Union troops while the army retreated. He called a charge against the enemy but he was the only one to charge them. He had to fight his way out and he pulled one enemy soldier onto his horse as a shield but he was still shot in the back at close range---but survived. One of his most famous battle victories was the Battle of Brice's Crossroads. In this battle he attacked a force twice the size of his and completely routed them.
