They ride past the church – the Duke and Copenhagen are out in front.
As they ride on his staff are finding it hard to keep up with the Duke who always likes to lead at a fast canter.
By the time they reach the Farm the Duke is well to the fore.
Suddenly from the trees ahead emerges a line of French Voltigeurs!
“Watch out your Grace!” yells Lord Hill.
The Duke reins in Copenhagen in the nick of time and the Greys charge forward.
The French turn tail and run back into the woods followed closely by the Greys.
“Hot work eh Lord Hill?” says the Duke
“Indeed it is your Grace but I do wish you would not put yourself in such danger!” replies Lord Hill.
“Well done the Greys, well done!” exclaims the Duke.
“Indeed it is your Grace but I do wish you would not put yourself in such danger!” replies Lord Hill.
“Well done the Greys, well done!” exclaims the Duke.
The reconnaissance has been a success – The Duke has found the French!

Nice work - Airfix farmhouse I trust? I couldn't place the trees.
Yes, the farmhouse is the Airfix one. The trees are the "Woodland Scenics" ones I mentioned in my last post.

The Duke is more at risk from that idiot Ponsonby waving his sword all over the place!

Hi Roy - You have a good point. Perhaps this is one reason why the Duke liked to ride out in the front!
