Charge of Flowerdew’s Squadron (Alfred Munnings, ca. 1918)

Stealing from commodorified. That's a painting of a cavalry charge - possibly even the *last* cavalry charge - into the face of entrenched machine guns.

It was not the last calvary charge. The Polish launched a charge against German armor though they fully expected to fail. They were just out of options at the time.
