Last charge of the British Calvary and Winston Churchill was in it fighting Islamic radicals. It was payback for the defeat of a British General 20 years before. The Brits won the battle with very few casualities, but then there was the charge. The unit in the charge had been mocked by peers as having not been bloodied. They wanted battle honors and made a charge that was probably not needed and produced the bulk of British casualties in this battle. Young Winston is a great movie if you can find it. https://youtube/watch?v=f6UmKsqz6aQ
