The Inniskillings at Waterloo by Jason Askew. (GL) The 6th Inniskillings were part of the Union Brigade of Heavy Cavalry alongside the 1st Dragoons (Royals) and 2nd Dragoons (Scots Greys) and commanded by General Ponsonby. At a critical point in the battle, at 2.00 pm, the two brigades of Heavy Cavalry (the other was the Household Brigade) were ordered to charge a massive French assault of infantry and cavalry which was bearing down on the allied line. The charge of the Heavy Cavalry saved the day. The Union Brigade smashed into the French infantry and then on to the artillery. But the charge carried on too far and the Inniskillings were attacked by fresh French cavalry and suffered heavy casualties: 193 out of 400, plus 190 horses. |

The Battle Of Fontenoy by Henri Felix Emanuel Philippoteaux (PC) The Duke of Cumberland who was in command of the allied forces measured his strength with Marshal Saxe, who was then besieging Toumay. The infantry dashed forward between the village and the redoubt. The British Guards advanced over a low ridge, and saw the French Guards before them. The French troops opened fire first but most of their shots went high. Then the British troops opened fire and nineteen officers and up to 600 men of the French guards are said to have fallen at the first discharge the Guards drove them into their camp. Here, exposed to the tremendous reverse fire of the redoubt of Eu, the Guards formed themselves into a square, and resisted repeated attacks of the cavalry of the French Guards and Carabineers. Unsupported and decimated by the withering hail of iron that assailed them, the Guards at length began to retire. |
