This screenshot is from The Prisoner - Many Happy Returns episode. If someone could identify the framed artwork over the fireplace mantle I would appreciate that very much. Thanks!

I've played the clip and the picture is too far from the camera to even make out what the hell it is.

17th Lancers "Charge of the Light Brigade"
My best guess

Thank you!
here's a better shot. That looks to me like Isandhlwana on the horizion.

Great! thanks Welshie, I will email Cranston. ok consensus seems to point to the Zulu war. I emailed the IWM yesterday - they couldn't help --- which I can't understand at all, sorry --- so they sent me to the National Army Museum and we will see what they have to say tomorrow. The Prisoner was a one-man show - all McGoohan (RIP) so I wonder if this was his personal choice.
I cant believe this isn't for sale as a print.

Two things it is not either of the 17th Lancers prints that have been posted here, looks more like Hussar uniform out in front of infantry.
Secondly Isandlawhana top was more conical than the one in this painting.
I would agree that it is either Napoleonic or Crimean.
