Excellent, brief history of the battle also crediting infantry and artillery contributions in what was a battle won by the mounted infantry charge

Sad reality for the Aussie diggers returning home- they weren't allowed to bring their mounts with them. Horses were barred from Australia for quarantine reasons. 11,000 horses went to England's Indian campaign, 2000 were shot.
@James-kv6kb5 ай бұрын
I thought it was because the government didn't want to pay to bring them back but I suppose quarantine would have made sense
@Gough-jf9zf5 ай бұрын
@@James-kv6kb I've read many a version of 'why', you could be right. The diggers grew very attached to their mounts and were incensed to hear the horses would not be returning. Quarantine could have been the most plausible excuse. It would have been a very expensive exercise, in a very young country already in debt due to the war. We had bugger all tax base then, federal income tax only being introduced in 1915. Not a lot of money for services. But the M.E. was full of infectious diseases, one outbreak would have devastated our livestock.

Capably presented with the right amount of detail. I've read about the Palestine campaign but it seems my texts under-represented the Kiwi Mounted Rifles contribution.

@@paulchilds9137 actually you are partially right. Lithuania was where the most Jews were in Europe. Of course Jerusalem had the most Jews at the time. The Germans raided the Jewish section of the cemeteries in Lithuania and used Jewish headstones as pavement and killed virtually every Jew in the country. Jews lacked a homeland and were integral parts of every Arab country until Israel declared independence post WWII. At that point every Arab country expelled their Jewish citizens.
