Note 49 — HISTORICAL RECORD
Reading edition
'My Lord Granby, with the English cavalry, contributed materially to the success of the day.'—Prince Ferdinand's Despatch.
'I should do injustice to the general officers, and to every officer and private man of the cavalry, if I did not beg your Lordship would assure His Majesty that nothing could exceed their gallant behaviour on that occasion.'—The Marquis of Granby's Despatch.
'The English cavalry outdid his (Prince Ferdinand's) expectation, and indeed all former examples. They came up five miles on a full trot (the Germans call it a gallop) without being blown, without the least confusion or disorder, and attacked the enemy's cavalry and infantry several times.'—Annual Register, 1760.
