The story on which I am currently working ends up in a small field outside a village north east of Paris. The action at Néry saw an outnumbered British cavalry brigade fight off a German cavalry division. The men of the Royal Horse Artillery's L Battery won three VCs that day, and fought until all the ammunition was expended, all the guns destroyed, and all the officers and a quarter of the men had become casualties.
