On this day 100 years ago.

The 4th Light Horse Brigade was mounted infantry, not a Cavalry Regiment.

There is a good movie about this action, however one of the main lead actors Jon Blake, was tragically injured in a car accident shortly after filming finished.

Nice one,Reggie.

The courageous 800 men that took more than double their number in German led Turks and in doing so changed the direction of the war in Palestine.
