The battle of Charleroi

[Eduardo]

Hello. In the collections section I have posted a postcard where the Imperial guard is parading in front of the Kaiser. The text of the card explains that these same troops, pride of Germany, were anihilated by the French "Turcos" at the battle of Charlerois.

I have not found references to the Battle of Charleroi. Could somebody give me references where to find details and know what hapened?
