Battle of Tchernaya


In this painting by Orlando Norie the French and British cavalry wait for their chance to fight in the battle on 16 Aug. The Tenth are recognisable in their buttoned up pelisses and peaked shakos, the officers having leopard skin saddle covers. A trumpeter on a grey is behind them.
