It provides a distinct focus on the Australian Light Horse’s ultimate success in the Middle East, celebrating the bravery of the soldiers and their magnificent Walers, particularly ‘Bill the Bastard,’ while offering a comprehensive exploration of key Australian landmarks and cultural sites.\n \n\n \n
