Waterloo Original Soundtrack - Ney's Cavalry Charge

As the battle rages on Marshal Ney mistakenly thinks the British are retreating and orders a mass cavalry charge to sweep them from the field and claim victory. As the French cavalry charge over the ridge they find Wellington's forces formed in defensive squares and ready to receive them.
The eight track from the soundtrack to the 1970 historical epic film Waterloo, directed by Sergey Bondarchuk and starring Rod Steiger as Napoleon and Christopher Plummer as Wellington. The accompanying soundtrack was composed by Nino Rota.

Yes because it shows that these young and impressionable men who have never met before, never met, don’t even speak the same language will shoot, stab, and blow each other up because old men told them to. Shows the true horror and sadness of war

[@TheGrenadier97]

The other choice for this young unknown british gentleman was to be commanded by a french dictator-emperor that he never saw either. The inseparable siblings War & Politics have this bizarre abstract but realistic element to it.
