Scene from the First World War: at the Battle of Nery in September 1914, the British 1st Cavalry Brigade and 'L Battery', Royal Horse Artillery, fought off the Germans until relieved by British infantry reinforcements.

All three were awarded the Victoria Cross for their brave stand, Bradbury's VC being posthumous. From "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects", Vol. II, by W.
