The man with the ram-rod trying to knock an Uhlan out of his saddle is General-Major Kostenetskiy. He took over the artillery batteries after Chief of the Artillery for the 1st Army Kutaysov was killed. Here is a painting of Kutaysov's last moments during a counter-attack to retake the Rayevskiy Redoubt (and his artillery positions therein). The Redoubt changed hands several times during the battle of Borodino.

Note the cuirassier shooting the highlander in the back and the dragoon preparing to strike him down in turn.
 
The man being braced by two comrades in that painting (the first of the three) is Lieutenant-Colonel Timofeyev, who continued to led his battalion of the Lithuanian Regiment of the Guard with a bullet in his leg.

There's a picture of the 7th at Waterloo, but it's so small I can hardly show it off.
 
Damn,if only I could have found a decent size version of that the other day when I needed it :sad:
 
Here's the 7th QOH picture anyway, very small, which means its hell that I've been trying to cram it into a decent looking signature size.
