Note 51 — HISTORICAL RECORD OF THE THIRD, OR THE KING'S OWN, REGIMENT OF LIGHT DRAGOONS. (continued 2)

In the active movements performed in these severely contested battles, it was found that the men of the Third Light Dragoons afforded an additional proof of their usefulness and bravery, by bringing up, and assisting in working, the Field-Artillery, in positions where the guns could be effectively used against the enemy; thus evincing, that the instruction they had previously received under the system introduced at the Cavalry Depôt at Maidstone, by Major-General Brotherton, in 1832, may be successfully applied on field service.
