Limerick, gave a description of one such encounter in a letter to his Father:
We charged the Head of their whole cavalry – Their front were Lancers – their flanks were protected for they were in the street and the mass of cavalry in the rear were so great that I defy them to go about. We killed the officer who was in front but we could not reach the men as the lancers of the front and rear kept the men at bay.[Afterwards] the French pursued us nearly ¾ of a mile in which they were charged repeatedly by the other squadron of the 7th, but they were too strong for us; we however killed a great many and got out of the road at last.
