This art pays homage to some of the regiments who fought on that day.
The Leopards’ Den.
The Lions, who gained the praise, “Who dared to touch the angry lions, the lions who breathed fire through their mouths.”
The White-Faced Bulls, poetically praised as, “Those who catch the stones of heaven” referring to the onslaught of cannon balls that flew through the air.
The Black Mambas.
And the Benders of kings, of the British.
