    No, it happened within the past 10 years (your meth lab exploded 12 years ago).

    It's the battle of Aleppo.

    Anyone else want to take a go?

    It is the Bersaglieri taking Porta Pia when the Kingdom of Italy conquered Rome in 1870.

    My original guesses were some action near Sebastopol, or the assault at Magenta, even Solferino possibly. But it occured to me that there was no significant Bersaglieri assault during any of those city actions.

    Correct, the breach of the Aurelian wall at Porta Pia on September 20, 1870 after a four hour cannonade by the forces of the Italian Risorgimento. Thus the end of the Papal States.

    The event as seen from both perspectives:

    This is the way that the image wanted to display when I clicked paste.

    Sure. It is the assault on Magenta. Your turn.

    It is Charles XII landing on Zealand in 1700. At Humlebaek specifically, because I will probably be asked.
