The Charge of the Heavy Brigade Against the French Cuirassiers at Waterloo by Christopher Clark During the Battle of Waterloo on June 18th 1815, the British Heavy Brigade, led by General Sir William Posonby, launched a powerful cavalry charge against the advancing French Cuirassiers. Thundering downhill, the British heavy cavalry smashed into the French horsemen with Brutal force, briefly halting their assault and driving them back in confusion. Though the victory was temporary and costly, the charge bought vital time for the Allied line to regroup. |

Balaclava, October 25th 1854: The Charge of the Light Brigade by Christopher Clark. No text for this item |
The Charge of Drury Lowes Cavalry at Kassassin, August 28th 1882 by Christopher Clark. At Kassassin on the 28th August, General Grahams force was vigorously attacked by the Egyptians. He signalled for assistance, which was afforded him by the Life Guards and the Blues with the Horse Artillery, and the 7th Dragoon Guards. Then came the so-called Midnight Charge. Considering that the attack was not seriously begun till 4.30 p.m., and that General Graham ordered a general return to camp at 8.45 p.m., the title is certainly a misnomer. When they arrived near enough to the scene of the conflict for bullets to drop among the troopers, they halted just to breathe the tired horses, and then came the order to charge. Like a thunderbolt, furious and irresistible, the heavy troopers rode for the enemy. A terrible scene of slaughter and confusion ensued; the enemy fled in great disorder, and the battle was won. |
