Churchill on Moreuil Wood, 30 March 1918: “A shell burst among a group of led horses….A wounded and riderless horse came in a staggering trot along the road towards us. The poor animal was streaming with blood. [Clemenceau] advanced towards it and with great quickness seized its bridle, bringing it to a standstill. The blood accumulated in a pool upon the road. The French General expostulated with him, and he turned reluctantly towards his car. As he did so, he gave me a sidelong glance and observed in an undertone, ‘Quel moment délicieux!’” Led by Jack Seely, the Royal Canadian Dragoons suffered 75% casualties in history’s last great cavalry charge.
