• This evocative image features an unidentified Light Horseman from South Australia, believed to be a member of either the 3rd or 9th Light Horse Regiment—units that played a pivotal role in the legendary Battle of Beersheba on 31st October 1917.

   

• The soldier is mounted on a Waler, the iconic Australian warhorse known for its exceptional strength, endurance, and resilience—traits that were essential in the unforgiving desert conditions of the Middle East.

   

• Each Waler carried an average load of 21 stone (approximately 133 kg), made up of a 12-stone rider, plus an additional 9.5 stone of gear including the saddle, rifle, sword, ammunition, clothing, and other essential equipment. These horses bore this weight continuously for 17 days, surviving on less than half their standard ration of forage and receiving only one drink every 36 hours—a testament to their legendary toughness.

   

• This is a high-quality photographic print, carefully reproduced from the original image and beautifully framed alongside the Rising Sun Badge, symbol of the Australian Army.

   

• A striking tribute to the courage of the Australian Light Horse and their loyal Walers.
