Charge of the French Cavalry, Battle of Crecy by Harry Payne.

Battle of Crecy. One of the battles fought during the Hundred Years War, on 26th August 1346. On 12th July Edward III landed in Normandy with his army and marching north plundered the countryside. King Philip VI assembled an army to stop Edward and tracked them across the Somme River. When Edward reached Crecy he stopped and ordered his army to take up defensive positions. King Philip surveyed the English positions and decided to postpone his attack until August 27th. However, the French vanguard pressed forward too far and so committed the entire army to the battle. The hired Genoese crossbowmen began the assault but came under severe attack from the English longbows and so fled to the rear. King Philip then ordered his cavalry to charge resulting in a huge loss of horse and man under the barrage of arrows which rained down on them. By the end of the night after several unsuccessful assaults the French army was reduced by a third and King John of Luxemburg was dead. Edward then turned towards Calais.

Harry Payne

Very prolific artist who produced many military illustrations for books and postcard series, often collaborating with his brother Arthur, but did paint several battle pictures in oil, his most famous canvas being the Queen's Bays at Lucknow (Queen's Dragoon Guards) showing the routing of a body of mutineers by the 2nd Dragoon Guards under Major W H Seymour outside Lucknow on March 6th 1858. Payne's other battle scenes in oil include Villers en Couchies, 24th April 1794 (15th / 19th King's Royal Hussars) painted in 1894 and presented to the regiment the following year, Shangani River (Private Collection), and The Charge of the Scots Greys and Gordon Highlanders at Waterloo (Private Collection). Payne always fancied himself as a soldier and served for some years in the West Kent Yeomanry, reaching the rank of sergeant in the 1890s.
