  1. Same concept, though given that the original dragoons evolved into standard shock/melee cavalry over time, the revival of the concept in WW1 (see, among others, most of the Australian and New Zealand forces for examples) had the units designated as "mounted rifles". Of course, by ww2, most of those were replaced by motorized infantry (trucks instead of horses), and the Rest of the cavalry were converted to armoured units. Or at least, so it went in the Empire. But yeah, calling them dragoons would be anachronistic (at least in English), but not incorrect.
