From the publisher

A gripping account of the Australian Light Horse in the Middle East during World War I.

Throughout history, mounted troops have been known as elite men of arms, and the Australian Light Horse is a part of that legendary tradition. From defending the Suez Canal to leading the charge at Beersheba, these troops played a pivotal role in the Sinai and Palestine campaigns. Often recognized by the emu feathers in their slouch hats, the light horsemen embodied the true spirit of the Australian countryside.

Australian Light Horse brings their story to life through vivid diaries, letters, and photographs, offering a unique glimpse into the bloody battles of the desert campaigns from 1916 to 1918. Discover the digger ethos and the courage of these remarkable soldiers as they fought for victory in the Middle East. Perfect for readers interested in military history, World War I, and Australian history.
