Pink Floyd's "Us and Them" said it better than anything.
Plus it has a catchy opening tune.
Not exactly. The failed charge by lancers is a myth.
However the Poles did use Cavalry in the 1939 campaign.

My grandma’s brother fought in WWI.
When I was about 12 years old, I asked him to tell me about it.
He thought about it for about 5 seconds.
Then I watched his face turn gray.
He never answered me. He never said a word.
54 years later, and it still affects him like that. He must have seen some horrible stuff.
Damn straight I’m going to see this movie.
The Battle of Komarów 30AUG1920
Russo Polish War. The last cavalry battle using cavalry tactics instead of cavalry acting like mounted infantry.
