Antics, Corgi 1:50 Cruiser Tank A34 Comet Mk1 C Sqn 23rd Hussars 29th Armoured Brigade 11th Armoured Division (CC60605) The 23rd Hussars was one of six regular cavalry regiments reformed for the duration of the war. Prior to 1945 the 23rd Hussars had been primarily a Sherman equipped unit but in January of that year, as Germany was entered, they traded them in for Comet Mk.1’s, a batch of 95mm gunned Cromwell Tanks for close support work and turretless Honey tanks for reconnaissance purposes. The Hussars had originally handed in the Shermans in December but the German's Ardennes offensive forced them to take them back as the Comets had not arrived in time. www.anticsonline.co.uk /453_1_1182959.html   (303 words)

TARIFA It was the northern and eastern sides of the town that were particularly vulnerable to attack and it was upon the eastern heights that Victor's men broke ground on the 23rd. The British troops inside Tarifa consisted of the 2/47th, 2/87th, a detachment of the 82nd, the light company of the 11th, a detachment of the 2nd Hussars KGL and a detachment of the Royal Artillery, altogether numbering 67 officers and 1,707 men. This threat came from 12,500 French troops under Marshal Victor who set off from Cadiz on December 8th but did not reach Tarifa, just thirty miles away, until some twelve days later, mainly due to bad roads and to the marauding bands of guerrillas that hampered and hindered them along every step of their march. www.ifbt.co.uk /tarifa.htm   (303 words)

The 13th at Waterloo The fight was for some time obstinately contested, but such a large force of cuirassiers and lancers was brought up by the French and hurled at the 7th Hussars and 23rd Dragoons (who had been joined in the attack), that these regiments were compelled to give way, and they retired behind their reserves. These were done in such a manner as to cause him to express his complete satisfaction, and by his direction a perfect appreciation both of the appearance and the performance of the regiment was communicated in the strongest terms both to officers and men. Shortly after the regiment was brought on to the attack by Lord Uxbridge and Lord Hill, and charged a square of the enemy's infantry, which it completely broke, routed, and dispersed. www.pinetreeweb.com /waterloo.htm   (5502 words)

The 13th at Balaclava: Charge of the Light Brigade On April 23rd of the same year he exchanged into the 15th Light Dragoons (King's Hussars), paying the difference between the price of an ensigncy and a cornetcy. At daybreak on September 24, when marching on Balaclava, he volunteered with three others (privates of the 13th Light Dragoons), and captured an escort of the enemy's cavalry and also the baggage which they were taking to Sebastopol. This account as given by Sergeant Mitchell is by far the clearest and most level-headed narrative of the retirement given by any member of the 13th Light Dragoons that the writer has been able to discover. www.pinetreeweb.com /13th-balaclava2.htm   (5502 words)
