And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

Interesting. I wouldn't have known about the battle, but for opening a copy of National Geographic when I was a kid and being blown away by this painting by Gregory Manchess, which remains one of my favourite depictions of battle.
