Note the four flags of the Allied Powers at that date. UK, France, Belgium  and I forget the other one.

Russia...
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

Thanks all for your help, you are so knowledgeable.
