The 1st and 4th Regiments of Chasseurs d'Afrique cleared the Fedyukhin Heights of the two Russian half batteries of guns, two infantry battalions and Cossacks to ensure the British Light Brigade would not be hit by fire from that flank, and later provided cover for the remaining elements of the Light Brigade as they withdrew. "Bataille de Balaklava, 25 octobre 1854", painted by Félix Philippoteaux. This painting depicts the Chasseurs d'Afrique, led by General d'Allonville, clearing Russian artillery from the Fedyukhin Heights.
