Under Furred Hats & Amman, March, 1918 (An extract from 'Morale')
Australia's famous Light Horsemen at war
Raised as mounted infantry in September, 1914 in Sydney as part of the 2nd Light Horse Brigade, the 6th LH was shipped to Egypt to take part in the campaign against the Ottoman Turkish Army in the Middle East. This regiment was distinguished by its wallaby fur slouch hat bands, hence the title of the principal book in this edition. Severe casualties among Allied forces during the Gallipoli landings necessitated secondment of unmounted light horse regiments to join the battle. The 6th landed in the Dardanelles, fighting about the Anzac Cove sector until the withdrawl. Upon its return to Egypt the regiment was incorporated into the ANZAC Mounted Division. Initially engaged in the defense of the Suez Canal the regiment met the advance of the Turks across Sinai, fighting notably at Romani and Katia. The 6th LH took part in both unsucessful battles to take Gaza on the western flank.Following the breakthrough at Beersheba and advance to Jerusalem, the regiment took part in Trans-Jordon operations. It concluded its service with internal security duties in Egypt. The author of both works in this book was a serving officer and the second piece is an extract which intimately and vividly describes the hard fought action at Amman in 1918.
