Australian Light Horse

The Australian Light Horse was a unique military force during World War I, combining mounted troops with infantry tactics. They traveled on horses but fought on foot, offering mobility and flexibility in the desert and rough terrains of the Middle East. Their roles included scouting, raiding, and charging the enemy, notably at battles like Beersheba. The Light Horse were highly skilled riders and fighters, representing Australia's adaptability and resourcefulness in wartime. Their contributions were significant in campaigns such as Gallipoli and the Sinai and Palestine campaigns, leaving a lasting legacy in Australian military history.
