[Mr Grumpy]

On the 22nd August the 16th Lancers charged and destoyed a party of Jagers.

The 9th Lancers participation in the final "lance on lance" action of the First World War on 7 September 1914 at Moncel in which Lieutenant Colonel David Campbell led a charge of two troops of B Squadron and overthrew a squadron of the 1st Guard Dragoons.

On 29 August 1914, C Squadron of the 12th Lancers made a successful charge against a dismounted squadron of Prussian Dragoons. The 9th/12th Royal Lancers celebrate Mons/Moy Day annually, which commemorates the last occasions on which each predecessor regiment charged with lances.
