One of my two favorite works by Lady Butler. The other being The Defence of Rourke's Drift. Once made a trek from Oxford to Leeds to view this work first hand that reinforced my preference for the south of England over the other regions.
Ah! The Scots Grays charge against Napoleon's Imperial Guards. Part of there cap badge is an eagle based on the Gray's capture of the Imperial Guards Standard during the battle.
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."
