Light Horse: The Story of Australia's Mounted Troops chronicles the extraordinary saga of these mounted soldiers, tracing their formation, their campaigns, and their celebrated feats of arms from the Boer War through to the Great War, culminating in the iconic charge at Beersheba in 1917 — one of the last great cavalry charges in history.\n\nElyne Mitchell, herself deeply connected to the Australian high country and its horse culture, brings an intimate authority and lyrical precision to this sweeping historical narrative. Her prose balances rigorous historical detail with an evocative sense of landscape and character, illuminating not just the tactics and battles, but the spirit and sacrifice of the men and horses who rode together. A work of enduring significance in Australian military history, Light Horse leaves the reader with a profound appreciation for a tradition of courage that shaped a continent's soul — and a burning curiosity about the untold stories still waiting in the dust.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50609677566171,"sku":"2026200018613-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a5a69f26-b285-48e2-ac58-f8166eba9296.png?v=1791764586","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018613-secondhand-light-horse-the-story-of-australias-mounted-troops","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
