Light Horse Brigade

The Light Horse Brigade was a mounted military unit from Australia, primarily composed of soldiers who fought on horseback. They were highly mobile and versatile, excelling in reconnaissance, rapid attacks, and supporting infantry. During World War I, the brigade played a key role in campaigns like the Middle Eastern and Gallipoli campaigns, notably in the charge at Beersheba. Their ability to quickly move across varied terrain made them an effective force, blending traditional cavalry skills with modern warfare tactics. The Light Horse Brigade is celebrated in Australian history for its bravery, mobility, and significant contributions to military efforts.
