What are infantry, cavalry and artillery?
Question by Guest | 2016-10-06 at 19:57
In my school book for history, they are permanently talking about infantry, cavalry and artillery.
However, I only know that this has something to do with war, soldiers and military but nothing about the real meaning of those terms. Can someone give me a brief explanation of what this means?
