Text for the above items :

Charge of the 9th Lancers by Richard Caton Woodville.

Depicts the charge of a squadron of the 9th Lancers against the Prussian Dragoons of the Guard at Moncel on the 7th September 1914. This was Cavalry action in the First World War when cavalry charged with both sides at full gallop. The 9th Lancers casualties were 3 killed and 7 wounded compared to heavy losses suffered by the Prussian Dragoons.


Capture of a German Battery by Richard Caton Woodville.

German 77mm battery captured by C Company, 2nd Battalion the Manchester Regiment, 2nd April 1917 at Francilly Selency. The attacks on Francilly-Selency would prove costly and difficult to the attacking British forces. The Germans had dug in well. But the Manchester Regiments 2nd battalion, attacking from Roupy just beyond Savy village, towards the large hill which would later be called Manchester Hill, captured the German 77nn Gun battery. The Manchester Regiment would again be on the attack on the 14th of April at Fayet and would go on to the trenches of the Hindenburg line at Gricourt road, San Quentin.


The First of the European War by Richard Caton Woodville.

Captain Grenfell led the 9th Lancers to the action at Audregnies, during the Battle of Mons, against a large body of German infantry who were advancing to encircle the 5th Division. This action was compared to the Charge of the Light Brigade since it demonstrated great bravery but accomplished little. Later in the day Grenfell and his men helped to drag away British guns which were in danger of being captured. In this painting, the artist appears to have combined the two events. Although not the first action of the Great War for which the Victoria Cross waas to be awarded, Grenfell was the first to be gazetted, that is, officially listed in the London Gazette as a recipient.


The 5th Lancers Re-enter Mons, November 1918 by Richard Caton Woodville.

The 5th Lancers (attached to the Canadian Corps) were the first British troops to re-enter Mons, just as they had been the last to leave Mons in August 1914. Very few of the troopers who left Mons in 1914 were there to re-enter in 1918.
