The Prince of Wales in India: military manoeuvres before Delhi - charge of Probyn's Horse...1876. Creator: Unknown.

The Prince of Wales in India: military manoeuvres before Delhi - charge of Probyn's Horse, from a sketch by one of our special artists, 1876. 'The Central India Horse, on the side of the defence, were doing vedette duty on the Kurnal-road...Probyn's horse crossed the canal...[and] prepared to advance. But the Central India Horse, seeing the intention, began to retreat, and made for the main road. Probyn's horse were on the east of it, and made a splendid gallop down into the open, shouting and screaming as they went. Their object at first was to cut off the retreat of the enemy, but they got into marshy ground, with large pools of water. This stopped their wild career, or they might have been successful. The artillery right ahead began to send up white clouds, which became another reason for not pressing on in pursuit. As the Central India Horse went down the road a huge cloud of dust arose'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
