THE WAR HORSE.

Hi Ibrahiim,
The description of the carnage resulting from the charge of the Sots Greys is both vivid and chilling. I am lucky enough to have a period Heavy Cavalry Troopers sword of the type used by the Greys at Waterloo. To be honest it's not much more than a giant meat cleaver, lighter and more manoeuvrable than first appearances but a big meat chopper none the less so the description seems apt. I attach two more images of valiant horse warriors, the famed Polish Winged Hussars whose greatest moment was the charge that finally broke the Siege of Vienna 1683 and the Light Brigade of Crimea fame whose charge at Russian gun emplacements 1854 was the result of arrogance and mistakes.
Regards,
Norman.
