The Battle of Minden, 1st August 1759 by David Rowlands.
. Captain F Macbeans Company, 1st Battalion Royal Artillery in action on the right of the British line, firing its 12 pounder guns against French Cavalry and Infantry. By permission of David Rowlands. Battle of Minden 1st August 1759. Major battle of the Seven years war. After the French victory in April at Bergen, The French Army 60,000 strong under the command of Duc Louis de Contades marched northwards towards Hanover. To block this French Advance the Prussian Army under Field Marshall The Duke of Brunswick decided to hold the line at Minden. The Duke of Brunswick could only raise a force of 45,000 men including a British Contingent under Lord George Sackville of 6 regiments, a detachment of cavalry and some artillery. The French opened the battle attacking, the British Infantry regiments probably due to a misunderstanding, advanced and they were followed by the Hanoverian Infantry. They attacked the French cavalry. The Infantry advanced only stopping to let off a volleys of fire. This unconventional use of Infantry against cavalry, the French force confused and suffering losses broke. The victory was in Ferdinands grasp, he ordered his cavalry forward but the British general Sackville refused to send his cavalry after the French. For this action he was later court-martialled by King George II and cashiered from the army. The French were able to withdraw in order, but their losses had been 7,000 men and 43 artillery guns. The British and Hanoverian losses were less than 3,000 with 1500 of these casualties inflicted on the British Infantry. This battle ended all French hopes of capturing Hanover.

Bombardier Cook Taking Live Shells out of a Blazing Ammunition Wagon.
Bombardier C. W. Cook, of the 368th Battery, Royal Artillery, won the D.C.M. for a remarkable example of cool courage and presence of mind at Cape Helles on the Gallipoli Peninsula. On June 28th 1915, the position of his battery was discovered by Turkish observers on the Asiatic shore and was subjected to a severe fire from heavy howitzers. One lucky shot hit the gun on which Cook was working and killed or wounded the whole detachment. A little later the ammunition wagon was set on fire. Bombardier Cook immediately rushed forward to save the ammunition. No one could have blamed him for retiring to a safe distance in such an emergency, but so far from retiring he saved most of the shells from the wagon and also the ammunition stored in the pits instead.

Gunner Pond And His Fellow Artillerymen Wheeling Guns To Cover Under Heavy Fire.
Having removed the horses, Gunner Pond at once reported himself to one of the surviving officers, by whom he was told that all except two of his comrades had reached cover at the foot of the hill. He was then ordered to go back and tell a sergeant to collect men in order to withdraw the guns and wagons by hand. The right and left sections consisting of four guns and four ammunition wagons, were removed without anyone being hit, though every few seconds the men had to leave them and dash to cover to avoid bursting shells. Some of the wheels of the gun carriages and wagons of the centre section were damaged and they did not reach cover till the evening.

The Adventures of
Serjeant Benjamin Miller, whilst serving in the 4th Battalion of the Royal
Regiment of Artillery 1796 to 1815.
The author of these memoirs was born on 2 April 1776 and
enlisted in the Royal Artillery on 9th December 1795 for 'unlimited
service'. He was promoted Bombardier in Oct 1804, Corporal in Feb
1809 and Sjt in Oct 1811. He was discharged on 1st April 1815 with a
pension of 1s 6l/2d a day; the soldier of 1914 was paid 1/- a day!.
He died at Melbury Osmund, in 1865 in his 88th year. His service took him
first to Gibraltar April 1796 and two years later he was in the expedition
to take Minorca and subsequently returned to Gibraltar. His next
spell of active service was in Egypt where he arrived in 1801 and was soon
in action against the French and describes the fighting vividly. He
was wounded in a French cavalry charge on the guns, cut with the sword in
both legs; a counterattack by the Black Watch killed every Frenchman who
had got into the battery. This is a remarkable story of service in
the army during the Napoleonic wars - in and out of battle. He was
in the Peninsula and took part in the retreat to Corunna, an interesting
piece of history, as seen by a British soldier.
