From Book Description:

It was 1915 when 12 Australian Light Horse Regiment was formed at Holsworthy (NSW) and many of the recruits were ' natural soldiers' - good shots, horsemen and well acquainted with living in the open.

By June they were ready to sail to Egypt, where they received extra training, before going into action without horses (as infantry) at Gallipoli.

By February 1916, the regiment had been reinforced and remounted in Egypt, before joining the main Australian Light Horse force to help eject the Turks and their German Support from Sinai, Palestine and Arabia.......
