D-Day, Sword Beach. Normandy 1944 by David Pentland After suppressing the initial German defences, a Sherman " Crab" flail tank of the 22nd Dragoons, 79th Armoured Division,  clears a path through a minefield to allow tanks of 27th armoured Brigade, and men of 3rd Infantry Division to breakout  from the beaches. Fire support from surviving Sherman DD (amphibious) tanks of 13th /`18th Hussars (QMO), proved invaluable in the initial push towards Caen Advance on Vittoria by Chris CollingwoodThe 13th Light Dragoons cross a small river as part of Wellingtons armies advance on Vittoria in June 1813 during the Peninsula Campaign. Battle of Vittoria, June 21st 1813. Duke of Wellington's victory over the French with an army of 79,000 British, Portuguese and rebel Spanish troops. The battle of Vittoria ended Napoleon's domination of Spain. "The Worst Scrape" Retreat from Burgos October/November 1812 by Chris Collingwood After a major victory at Salamanca (22 July 1812) Wellington occupied Madrid and then advanced to capture Burgos - unfortunately with insufficient siege equipment he was compelled to retire and forced to experience a harrowing retreat, it was, he said "The worst scrape". However, when the campaigning season ended, Spain, south of the Tagus, was free of the French. The Vedette of the 13th Light Dragoons by Chris Collingwood. Scouts of the 13th Light Dragoons keep watch on the advancing French Army. Sabres on the Esla Pursuit of the Imperial Guard at the Battle of Benevente by Mark Churms Sir John Moore's epic retreat to Corunna was punctuated by desperate and often heroic rear-guard actions - none more dramatic than the cavalry clash at Benevente on the 29th December 1808. Having crossed the river Esla, cold and swollen by recent rainfall, a British picquet, comprised of elements of the King's German Legion Hussars and the 7th, 10th and 18th Hussars, covers the river and its tactically demolished Castro Gonzalo's bridge from a position near the town of Benevente. Napoleon himself leads the pursuit. The Emperors elite Guard Light Cavalry, commanded by General Lefebvre-Desnouettes, is ordered at daylight to ford the river and launch a surprise attack on what appears to be the numerically inferior British units. As five-hundred and fifty French cavalry emerge in orderly fashion from the river, intent upon quickly dispatching the opposition, they are startled to find the British piquet, reinforced by a host of British cavalry, streaming from within the confines of Benevente, some on their left flank. Under the command of Lord Paget, the British become the pursuers of the surprised French, who turn and retreat with the frigid waters of the Esla blocking their escape. Unlike their crossing in echelon just minutes before, the French now in disorder plunge into the river, where many drown. Others are captured including General Lefebvre-Desnouettes who is made prisoner by Grisdale of the 10th Hussars following a dramatic pursuit. General Lefebvre-Desnouettes will eventually escape from captivity in England, to encounter Lord Paget once again on the field of Waterloo.

Two British Aeroplanes Disperse A flight Of Ten Enemy Machines.        Lieutenant (Temporary Captain) William Assheton Summers, of the 18th Hussars and Royal Flying Corps, as pilot, and Temporary Lieutenant William Owen Tudor-Hart, of the Northumberland Fusiliers and Royal Flying Corps, as observer, attacked a flight of ten enemy aeroplanes, completely breaking up their formation.  They were quite unsupported, but only broke off the engagement when all their ammunition was expanded many miles over the enemy’s lines.  Their machine was under constant heavy fire from as many as four hostile machines at once, and was badly damaged.  For their conspicuous gallantry and skill they were both awarded the M.C.
