Sulliven Sgt Ewart is shown taking the

rear, this probably saved his life and also the standard for the regiment,
as the rest of the regiment continued charging forward to French artillery
positions, much further than they should have gone, now with very tired
horses and unable to rally, the Scots Greys were attacked by Farines
Brigade of Cavalry (6th and 9th Cuirassiers.) and later by the 4th Lancers,
very few managed to return to the British Lines.
