Monument to the 5th regiment of Cuirassiers who left from this place to charge the British. The French thought the British were retreating, so they sent cavalry to pursue them. However, the French could not see that the British were positioned behind a ridge in a square formation, which prevented the cavalry from charging them and thus suffered heavy losses.
