Lighthorsemen

Lighthorsemen were highly trained mounted soldiers in the Australian Light Horse units during World War I. They fought on horseback, often for mobility and speed, but could also dismount to fight on foot. Known for their versatility, they participated in reconnaissance, raids, and major battles like Gallipoli and the Middle East. Their skills combined traditional cavalry tactics with modern warfare, making them effective in desert and open terrain. The Lighthorsemen are celebrated for their bravery and unique role bridging cavalry tradition and 20th-century combat techniques.
