Artist: William Barnes Wollen [Browse all William Barnes Wollen]

While temporarily under the command of Lieutenant Norman Ramsay
two guns of bull's troop of the Royal Horse Artillery were
surrounded by French cavalry and cut off from the main force.
With the guns limbered up and swords drawn, they charged
through the surprised enemy horsemen thereby saving themselves
from being captured. They returned to Wellington's lines with the help
of the 1st Royal Dragoons and 14th Light Dragoons.
