Beersheba - the last great cavalry charge in history. On the 31st of October, 1917, 800 Australian men rode out into the setting sun of the harsh and waterless Negev Desert to meet their fate and make history. Facing machine guns, artillery and enemy planes, they would have just one chance to capture the precious water wells of Beersheba or face disaster. That day they changed the course of the war in the Middle East, and entered the realm of heroes. Now, 100 years later, members of the Australian Light Horse Association are on a pilgrimage to the sacred sites of service for the Australian Light Horse Regiments and the New Zealand Mounted Rifles. They will travel from Gallipoli in Turkey, to the great pyramids of Giza in Egypt, then onto Jordan and finally, Israel"--Container.
