The charge at Beersheba Light horse
What a beautiful figurine, capturing the movement of the charge. Horse and rider as one.
This cold cast bronze miniature figurine commemorates the heroic charge of the 4th Light Horse Brigade at Beersheba on 31 October 1917. With bayonets in hand, eight hundred men of the 4th and 12th Light Horse regiments fearlessly charged as cavalry across the open desert. The Turkish defenders were caught off guard, their rifle sights unable to adjust in time as the horsemen thundered towards them. Within minutes, the horses were leaping over trenches, leading to the capture of Beersheba and eventually Jerusalem. This figurine captures the spirit and bravery of those soldiers in a stunning and detailed design.
