The 10th Hussars led the final British cavalry charge at Waterloo chasing Napoleon's Old Guard as it fell back. Fearing that the French army may regroup and counter-attack, their order was to smash all before them. Storming down the slopes, they cut and slashed their way through the disordered mass of infantry and cavalry. They eventually fell on a last square of Imperial Guard, defiantly holding their formation and trying to rally the panicking forces around them. The Old Guard fired several terrible vollies, but the day had already been won, and with the support of infantry and artillery, the last stand of Napoleon's Guard was made to surrender. The 10th Hussars rode on to Paris with Wellington after the battle. The 10th Hussars led the final British cavalry charge at Waterloo chasing Napoleon's Old Guard as it fell back.
