................but in the afternnon the clouds rolled in............

                         French light infantry prepare to assault the under-manned orchard

Bur their line colleagues at the barricade are repulsed after bitter hand-to-hand fighting. The fire of the 95th and KGL in the farm was relatively ineffective, but somewhat surprisingly the 95th proved unbeatable with rifle butts and bayonets!

However, brushing aside the light resistance the French light troops fight their way into the courtyard.

 The mass of French cavalry on the right begin to move forward, dragoons cuirassiers and hussars head for the Allied ridge while lancers and guard heavy horsemen manoeuvre towards the road.

                     Riflemen spill out of La Haye and head in the direction of the sandpit.

I'm finding the tension almost unbearable and I was there. See how the drama continues tomorrow.

Thanks for looking.
