About This Item
Melbourne: Sun Books, 1978. 1st ed.. Paperback small wide quarto, very good condition, black & white & colour photos (some full-page), maps endpapers & inside covers, pages lightly toned, edges lightly foxed, spine little creased & faded, base spine little bumped, minor edgewear. 112 pp. In this fascinating story of Australiaâs Mounted Troops in the Middle East during World War 1, Elyne Mitchell has captured the excitement and bravery of the Light Horsemen's style, and the unique bond that grew between the men and their beloved charges: the magic and mystery of the desert itself; and the raw boldness and panache of the men who remained undaunted despite the horrific conditions. Elyne has used her large family collection of letters, photos and other memorabilia, as well as personal interviews with men formerly under General Chauvel's command, and wide personal research. General Chauvel was Elyne Mitchell's father. Elyne is best known for her Silver Brumby novels for young adults.
