My great great uncle was in this battle. He was 21, already had lost his older brother in the war. He was a lieutenant(which was very very young for his age) and in this battle you see that a guy captured 5 of the Turk solders, then asked someone to take over. That was my great great uncle. He also killed another five. He go awarded the Military Cross from his actions. He died on 14 July 1918, from a massive brave thing that got him awarded the Victoria cross.

This was a very funny battle actually, the Turks and German officers were so used of the Australian horseman to hop off there horse and shoot, but they stayed on their horse.

You know shits getting real when the horses are in the trenches

FYI, Capt Fowles one of the leaders in the charge, later Lt Col Fowles, is buried in the Balmoral Cemetery, Brisbane.

Probably the greatest cavalry charge in history and they were mounted infantry and the losses were remarkably low possibly because it was believed that they would dismount and fight on foot at some point. Well, they did at least with some that dismounted after jumping two trenches to take them out.

They could’ve used the charge of me and my beloved Woody.EXE as we are on horses trying to end Jessie’s reign for good. I was surprised to see my 2009 Woody, Mummy joining in this intense battle and my sister proudly watching her Woody on. Me and Woody.EXE charged ahead to get in between Jessie; she stopped as she knew we were both surrounding her. Mummy got the knife to give to Woody.EXE and I cried as he lifted it and used it on Jessie. We celebrated our victory later that day

After learning about Australian light horse men I got a lesson that, Heavy armoury advanced weapons can't get you victory in war it is your will of heart and inspiration to win for the right side

I remember being at war with Jessie and I finally agreed to join Woody.EXE’s side because he would save me if I did. I wasn’t expecting my mother and my 2009 Woody to join in the battle and I actually saved Mummy from Jessie first. We all won after 2 hours and I got absolute chills when Woody.EXE finally gets out his most powerful knife and gets Jessie with it. Jessie’s reign of disdruction is over and that’s the most extraordinary thing Woody.EXE has done during his reign

Never did understand what made cavalry ineffective against the trench warfare of WW1. I mean, yeah they're bigger targets to aim at but I'd think the speed of a horse would enable you to close the distance with machine gunners and artillerymen and take them out.

@user-ox4bv3it4i

4 жыл бұрын

Well its quite simple calvary charges wouldn’t work due to shortage of supplies for the horses, the ruff territory of no mans land make it impossible for a charge to work correctly with all the mud, barbed wire, and craters being huge obstacles. Not to mentions with the distance theres more than enough time to have the others side be ready with their rifles to gun down the riders that even made it close, if the wire or artillery didn’t already cut them down

@user-ox4bv3it4i

4 жыл бұрын

Not to mention the morale that could drop horrendously to see their comrades being mowed down and bleeding out in wire and hail of bullets. It would work a lot better on the eastern front although if the soviets had good terrain to use the horse and didn’t already eat or surrender them to the enemy. Calvary just isn’t useful anymore unless you’re fighting in the middle ages to the 1800’s

@theflyingdropbear2009

it's rather simple, the advent of the machine gun and much more effective artillery, meant that the calvary charge was an obsolete tactic by the time the first shots were fired in WW1, this is because the first world war, was really the first industrial war. Take for example the Third Ypres, many of the horses during the battle of Passchendaele drowned in the mud of the region, mostly because the artillery destroyed the ancient aquaducts. you also had the pillboxes dotted over the land, which was made mostly of concrete, which housed machine guns and infantrymen. Then there was barbed wire fences and other assorted traps. The reason why Beersheba worked out so well, was because the land was flat, dry and the New Zealanders had taken an important hill that was overlooking the charging fields, the other reason, was because the Australian Light Horse had greater mobility on their side, when compared to the British counterparts as the British were heavy calvary, there was no rain, it was basically desert, and the other main difference was the type of horse, Australian Walers were bred not only for durability, but also to go for a period of time without water, but even then the Walers still needed water as that time was basically running out.

I wonder IF! any horses got hurt during the making of this account!????
