The British cavalry of the Napoleonic wars has often been criticised, including by the Duke of Wellington himself who accused them of "galloping at everything". But was the criticism fair?

In the latest episode of the Redcoat History Podcast I talk with Marcus Cribb (manager of Apsley House) to try and answer all of these questions.
