Personal accounts of a legendary battle seen through the eyes of Private George Teigh and Lieutenant Samuel FitzGibbon Cox amongst others. Both the Private and the Officer kept diaries, both recorded the same events, but with vastly differing views.Difficulties with boots, bullets and gunboats are described, but it is the eye-witness accounts that give full flavour to a fascinating campaign,which saw the last full cavalry charge.
