A propos de cet article

Paperback. With the Ninth Light Horse in the Great War & The Attack on Magdhaba, Dec. 1916An essential record of a renowned Light Horse regimentThe Ninth Light Horse Regiment was raised in Adelaide and trained in Melbourne for service during the First World War. Two thirds of the those who volunteered for the 9th were men from South Australia-the remainder were from Victoria. The regiment was shipped to Egypt in early 1915 to take part in the campaigns against Germany's ally in the Middle East, the Ottoman Turkish Army. It was considered that mounted infantry were ideally suited for a mobile war, but (as part of the 3rd Light Horse Brigade) the 9th was selected to serve unmounted at Gallipoli as a consequence of high casualties suffered by the allies in the Dardanelles campaign. The regiment was in reserve during the battle of the Nek so suffered less severely. They suffered significantly, however, during the attack on Hill 60. Upon the regiment's return to Egypt following evacuation, the 9th took part in the defence of the Suez Canal and led the way in the Jifafa Raid. As the Ottomans fell back to the north the regiment took part in one its fiercest engagements at Magdhaba in December, 1916 and it is this event that is recorded in the second piece in this volume as described by Sir archibald Murray.Following the unsuccessful battles before Gaza the regiment served in the Trans-Jordan Raid, at Jenin and at Sa'sa. It entered Damascus in October 1918.This regiment concluded its war performing security services following civil unrest in Egypt after the conclusion of hostilities. This well- regarded regimental history was written by a serving officer and recommended.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
