Today I wanted to revisit a cavalry action that the great Historian Sir Charles Oman, called “the most brilliant exploit of the British cavalry during the whole six years of the war.” And if anybody should know it’s him.

What battle do you think it is? The heavies at Salamanca? The King’s German Legion at Garcia Hernandez? Neither of those…though they are both spectacular. Watch and find out what he thought.
