As a result of some current non-Tolkien reading (yes it happes sometimes!) , I did wonder if the army of the dead might have been inspired by "The Angel of Mons".
And I had quite forgotten that Tolkien would have ridden .. never think of him as being really involved with horses because he describes Glorfindel's horse as white.
