Squadron A refers to the historic cavalry unit of New York City's Upper East Side.

A stone plaque with the squadron's cry "Boutez en avant!", translated variously as "Press forward!" or simply "Charge!", is located on the wall at Madison Avenue.

Squadron A originated with a group of wealthy young gentlemen with great interest in equestrian sport who formed themselves into a group called the 'New York Hussars". They adopted blue uniforms and headgear for ceremonial purposes that mimicked Eurasian fashions dating back to the Napoleonic and Crimean Wars. In an effort to become more professional and militarized, they extended membership to Captain Charles F. Roe, 20-year veteran of the US Army Cavalry, who inspired its membership with the cavalry spirit and military discipline. His efforts were successful to the point that in 1889 53 men were mustered into the New York State National Guard as Troop A, becoming the cavalry arm of the Empire State. Squadron A was officially founded

Squadron A was often called out from its Madison Avenue Armory, which occupied an entire city block between 94th and 95th Streets, to escort presidents, governors, and foreign dignitaries. The Squadron was known for its fine riding skills and elegant uniforms, which it showed off in parades at the National Horse Show

In peacetime between the wars and after their ending, the Squadron was the focus of active social life. Aside from official ceremonial duties, there was indoor polo in the Armory every Saturday night followed by a black tie-dance and many Sunday afternoon tea dances.

Distinguished members:

C. P. H. Gilbert, architect from New York

Karl Frederick, 1920 Olympic competitor and president of the National Rifle Association

Guy Sands-Pingot, Brigadier General, USAR

Fred Thrower, Navy Lieutenant, USN, and New York television executive who created the Yule Log (TV program)

Murder and Christmas Cheer!!!
Format: Kindle
Christmas is a joyous time of year and not a holiday usually associated with murder, but Benedict Brown serves up a classic British mystery, set in the 1920’s, with seasonal warmth, cheer and numerous deaths. This is the sixth novel in the Marius Quin series and, at the beginning of the novel, the reader finds Marius in a good place – he’s finally accepted that the war is over, his new novel is at his publisher’s and Bella, the woman he loves, is back in his life. At a Christmas party at Bella’s parents’ manor house, he runs into a white-haired lady, talking to herself. Adele Leach, “Aunt Addie,” says that she’d been to the police because a friend was in danger and, if anything happened to her friend, that she knows who her killer is, and then Adele rushes off. Quite soon thereafter, Adele is found dead and the police attribute her death to natural causes: She was in her 80’s and had a weak heart. Marius and Bella know better and go to Holly Village, where Adele lived, to investigate. Of course, more murder follows and the duo satisfyingly reveal the culprit, and the end of the novel is filled with Christmas cheer, reminiscent of A Christmas Carol by Dickens. The plot keeps the reader guessing, but what really appealed to me was the setting. Holly Village is right out of Dickens and is a real village which was built during the Victorian time, with twelve-dwellings, each with turrets, towers and gargoyles, located in the heart of London, next to Highgate Cemetery (an appropriate setting for a murder mystery)! I totally recommend this new Christmas novel by Benedict Brown.

An Old Prof's Delight
Format: Kindle
All of Mr. Brown's Marius Quin mysteries are interesting and thoroughly enjoyable reading. The characters, especially the main ones--Marius, Bella, and Percy--are among my all-time favorites, and that after more than 65 years of reading mysteries (started when I was 16)! I highly recommend "Holly Village," for Christmas or otherwise, and impatiently await the next book in the series.

I love this series so much!
Format: Kindle
It's not Christmas time without a Benedict Brown Christmas book! I love this series and I love how the characters are maturing/coming into their own. Marius and Bella are amazing and their banter is always top notch. I have read every single book this author has written and he still surprises me with his twists and who done it! The ending of this one was super emotional, I had tears during the reveal! I cannot wait for the next! Especially with the promise of big leaps in certain plot lines! Pick up this series, it is A++++ reading.

still loving the series!!
Format: Kindle
I’m a fan. Marius and Bella feel like friends now. But somehow the story took some time to build up; although I understand Bella’s torments and emotions need to be dealt with… I’m looking forward to the next one in the series!!
