A few years back, I uncovered mention of an incident that may (or - knowing how unreliable some survivors' recollections were - may not) have occurred towards the final knockings of "The Day" in which the Brunswick Uhlan squadron, possibly acting alongside elements of the Avante-Garde Battalion which had been assisting in the defence of the orchard to the north-east of Hougoumont, charged a battery of French (horse?) artillery operating to the east of the orchard and maybe captured one or two guns. Unfortunately, good old "anno domini" took over and I cannot find any reference to this anywhere. I went back to my old standby, Glovers "Archives" (volumes 5 and 8 on the Germans), but could not find any mention of it in either. I am unaware of any members of the squadron leaving diaries or memoires, so can anyone help by directing this poor lost soul to his goal? I am keen to find further confirmation as to the veracity of the action, since I cannot seem to find any reference to it in any reputable source (and my copy of Adkin is temporarily AWOL).
Many thanks,
