The French 90th Horse Artillery Advancing on Rezonville by Paul Emile Leon Perboyre The Battle of Rezonville, fought on August 16, 1870, during the Franco-Prussian War, was a fierce clash between French and Prussian forces. The French, under General Fransois MacMahon sought to break through the Prussian lines to relieve their besieged comrades at Metz. The battle was marked by intense combat in the village of Rezonville and its surrounding areas with both sides suffering heavy casualties. The Prussians led by General August von Gneisenau, managed to bold their positions and inflict significant losses on the French, who eventually withdrew. The Prussian victory at Rezonville contributed to the strategic encirclement of the French forces and was a significant step towards the eventual siege of Metz. |

A Cavalry Charge by Hermanus Willem Koekkoek Likely during the Battle of Worth, 6 August 1870. The Battle of Worth was a decisive victory for the German Third Army under Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm against the French First Corps led by Marshal Patrice MacMahon. Despite the bravery of the French cavalry, their efforts were insufficient to prevent a rout, leading to significant French casualties and a crucial German advance in the Franco-Prussian War. One of the most dramatic moments of the engagement was when the French right flank was collapsing. The cavalry launched a desperate and heroic charge to cover the retreat, but it ended disastrously due to the overwhelming firepower and numbers of the German forces. |
