Marshal Ney charging at the head of the French cavalry against the British Squares.

Item #2 - Click to view individual item DHM454. La Charge (Donop's Cavalry at Waterloo) by Mark Churms. Baron de Donops Brigade at the Battle of Waterloo, 5.30pm, 18th June 1815. After four hours of fighting, the squadrons of Napoleon's 3rd Cavalry Corps finally join the massed assaults on the battered allied infantry squares. With the 42 year old marechal de camp Frederic-Guillaume de Donop at their head, the 2nd and 3rd Cuirassier Regiments break from a trot into a canter as they clear the ridge. The heavy cavalry are smashed against the steadfast bayonets of the redcoats and countercharged by light horsemen. In one of these encounters the general himself is terribly wounded and falls from his horse. His son (aide-de-camp) is also injured. Both are reported missing and presumed captured. Although the general's body is not found,it is certain that he met his death in the muddy fields of Waterloo alongside many of his brigade. In 1895 his name is inscribed on the north face of L'Arc de Triomphe in Paris in recognition of his service to France. Signed limited edition of 1000 prints. Image size 24 inches x 15 inches (61cm x 38cm)
