Back in 1917 on October 31st the Australian Lighthorse charged and took Beersheba in what’s now Israel. It was the last time cavalry were used in a charge. But… they weren’t cavalry. They were mounted infantry. They would ride to the fight, dismount, then fight on foot. The officers facing them thought they would do this as usual and when they charged, they overpowered the Turks and Crouts taking the ESSENTIAL water sources intact.

107 years ago today, the last great cavalry charge took place in the battle of Beersheba on 31 October 1917, part of the wider British offensive collectively known as the third Battle of Gaza. Beersheba was a heavily fortified town 43 kilometres from the Turkish bastion of Gaza. It anchored the right end of a defensive line that stretched from Gaza on the Mediterranean coast. The first two frontal attacks on Gaza, in March and April 1917, failed. The British Army re-organised before trying again

The trek and the charge... In Israel, re-enactors are about to commemorate the charge of the Light Horse to take the town of Be'er Sheva (Beersheba) in Palestine, 1917. Before they could take the town, the mounted troops had to traverse huge tracts of inhospitable land without water. To fail at taking the town - and its wells - would be disastrous. Tomorrow will be more from Israel as the commemorations continue. #MILHISTRIVIA: Did you know that eucalyptus trees were introduced to Israel from Au
