For info the bottom painting is by James Beadle of the Buckinghshire Yeomanry's part in the action of 6 Mounted Brigade to capture the El Mughar Ridge, Paelstine Nov 1917. Led by the left handed Major Bulteel. The Bucks Yeomanry lost 6 ORs killed, 3 officers (one mortally) and 45 ORs wounded and were awarded one DSO and one MC in the action
