Today was also the anniversary of the famous charge of the Australian Light Horsemen at Beersheba, Palestine in 1917:
Battle of Beersheba (1917)
We Australians like to refer to it as history's last great cavalry charge but the Light Horse Regiments were really mounted infantry. Still, it must have scared the hell out of the Ottoman Turks, seeing hundreds of Aussie horsemen charging at them with their foot-long bayonets in their hands like swords.
