1843 battle during the French conquest of Algeria

The Battle of the Smala took place on 16 May 1843, when the French, led by Henri d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale, raided the personal encampment of Algerian resistance leader Emir Abdelkader al-Jazairi while al-Qadir was absent on a raiding expedition. The 500 French cavalrymen surprised the camp defenders, who fired a single volley before scattering.
