The traditional image of the Australian Light Horseman is of a bushman galloping across the sandy deserts of Palestine. In MY CORPS CAVALRY, Doug Hunter provides readers with a new image of the Light Horseman, by focusing on the exploits of the 13th Light Horse Regiment in France. Although the 13th Light Horse Regiment had served for a few months on Gallipoli, the experiences of warfare on the Western Front were in total contrast to the spectacular charges by the Australian Light Horse at Romani and Beersheba. The war in France was primarily an artillery war, with traditional characteristics such as courage, being swamped by the power of modern technology. Nonethe-less, the 13th Light Horse Regiment adapted itself to these fearful conditions and played an important role in the victories in late 1918. MY CORPS CAVALRY provides a new and dramatic insight into the previously ignored role of the 13th Australian Light horse Regiment during the 1916-1918 campaigns in France.
