Sound the bugle now - The Light Horse Men

[frpetermark]

Thank you very much. Over a dozen of my Great-Grandmother's cousins served in several ALH regiments in WWI, in particular, Lt.Col.C.V.Single DSO, OBE, 4th ALH, he was MO at Beersheba. Merry Christmas.

[9LanieMq6]

Perfect :)

[jarviss64]

If anyone is interested the name of the one horse that came back to Australia is Sandy, and it was the horse of General Bridges, who was wounded and subsequently died at Gallipoli. General Bridges is buried at RMC Duntroon in Canberra.

[17pazza]

i had a tear in my eye :(

[wattlebough]

@0:37 that will be the 2nd Brigade Australian Light Horse, definitely the shot was taken on the Plain of Es-Dud/ Ash Dod in 1918, and Brigadier Ryrie is in the lead. Pretty impressive to think that this photo is of one of *five* Brigades of Australian Light Horse that fought in Palestine between 1916- 1918. Plus the Kiwis had a Brigade of Mounted Rifles, so together they made up the Australian Mounted Division and the ANZAC Mounted Division of the Desert Mounted Corps, under Lt Gen Chauvel.

This is a beautiful song. This and Everything I do I do it for you are the best songs by him.

[grassbrookequine]

[woodbinedrinker]

Should have chosen an Australian singer instead of Canada's pock marked wonder. Although, his face does look like an aerial photo of the Western front, with all that shelling.....

[grunt182820]

[Twindustry]

grandfather was light horse, father was light horse and i'm light horse, 2/14 Light Horse Regiment

[wottaseeka]

A fitting tribute to young folk who made the supreme sacrifice and the horses who had no choice.

[ala4akbar]

next to USA/Canada Australia is the best place in the world to live but it is the most luxurious and cleanest place in the world.

[baysidelad1]

@ala4akbar....yeah, we'd love to have the murder rate and abject poverty of the USA, that would make us number 1!!!

[moakley]

you know they left all the horses behind when the war ended

[candicesdad1]

@moakley Most of them took their horses into the desert and shot them. This was to avoid leaving them to be mistreated by the local natives. Kiwis did as well

[littlerockjrl]

i feel very proud to be an australian and want to thank you for posting this.

[tomdkg]

I'd not heard this, it is excellent.

I'm adding this to Eric Bogle's "And The Band Played Walzing Matilda" as one of my all time favoutites

[doglover4ever1]

[rumaiquiya]

Australian light horsemen , the best!!

[albert4355]

What is this, sorry?

[Kraken812]

Looks like a thumbs-up to me. I don't blame them. It's a WONDERFUL video!

[jpee1965]

Up to em ANZACS.. Up to em... an American salutes you gents.

[wattlebough]

Just a point of interest: the shot at 0:38 is the 2nd Brigade of the AHL of the ANZAC Mounted Division (Desert Mounted Corps), commanded by Brigadier Ryrie, and taken at the plain of Es dud (Ash Dod) in Northern Palestine 1918. Australia had 5 Brigades in Palestine by the wars end.

[smatthijsse]

This is so sad. It makes me cry everytime I see it.

[gypsyrose210]

I know! The song is really moving I think. Its a sad story also.

[niikolarrhi]

heart breaking ... the tears from my eyes can be compared to the needle in my hearth everytime i hear this :'(

it makes me think back in time from a long period of sadness and depresions for over 2 years... the comback in the song is amazing.. realy brings me to belive in myself...and the history about the Australian men and horses... just bring forth a tear :'( abselut the best song ever ! 10/10

[gypsyrose210]

It really is a very touching song. It makes me cry as well. It is just so beautiful and in some ways inspiring. Thank you for commenting :)

[agoodshagg]

i agree i cry every time i hear this song i could listen to it all day if i had,

[bizhist]

Very moving tribute to men AND horses. Of course, the animals did not volunteer. Seems I saw something recently that in London they just commemorated a monument to the horses of the Great War. Fitting as we approach the death of the last human veterans.

[gypsyrose210]

thank you. I believe the horses were just as worthy of glory as the soldiers that rode them. That is great to hear they have been acknowledged. With the very few veterans remaining, it feels that the end is coming to an era and i just hope that these people will never be forgotten.

[niikolarrhi]

This song is beutifull ...makes me crying everytime i hear it... :'(

[gypsyrose210]

Me too! I love it but its so sad :(

[ponypall888]

Do you know who the horse was?

[gypsyrose210]

The only one that returned from War was Sandy, who belonged to General Bridges. I think, but I'm not sure, that he was retired and many of the veterans visited him as a way to overcome their grief in later years. I can't remember the name of the place they retired him.

[ponypall888]

OK Thanks!

[JacobJohn90]

Absolutely beautiful. Makes me proud to wear that Australian uniform. A job well done, mate.

[gypsyrose210]

Thank you. (: Yeah makes me proud to be Australian too. We have a great military history and i just love the bravery and patriotism displayed by the ANZACs, the best representatives this country's ever had.

[JacobJohn90]

They are national heroes. Everything the military stands for now was built on the foundations of the ANZAC legend and legacy. May they rest in peace and God bless.

[gypsyrose210]

Well said.

[wattlebough]

Hey there! You're getting a few hits now gypsyrose! Well done! Lets keep 'em rolling in! I bet they will.

[gypsyrose210]

haha thanks! (: I am working on more at the moment lol. if u want to check out my brother's channel, he's got a vid of us with the light horse troop. He is NXClass.

[koalsa69]

An absolutely brilliant tribute - freaking fantastic.... What is the song and who by? I loved it... Thank you so much

[gypsyrose210]

Wow! Thank you so much! The song is Sound the Bugle Now by Bryan Adams. It's off the spirit stallion of the cimmaron sound track. (:

[0Zolrender0]

awesome..welldone...why does everyone have to pick at things... this is a great tibute to the ANZACS....

[gypsyrose210]

thank you! i appreciate your comment. (:

[wattlebough]

I actually thought that it was over 100,000 horses. Remember "Trooper Bluegum"s poem?

[wattlebough]

In days to come we'll wander west and cross the range again;

We'll hear the bush birds singing in the green trees after rain:

We'll canter through the Mitchell grass and breast the bracing wind;

But we'll have other horses. Our chargers stayed behind.

Around the fire at night we'll yarn about old Sinai;

We'll fight our battles o'er again; and as the days go by

There'll be old mates to greet us. The bush girls will be kind.

Still our thoughts will often wander to the horses left behind.

[wattlebough]

I don't think I could stand the thought of my old fancy hack

Just crawling round old Cairo with a 'Gyypo on his back.

Perhaps some English tourist out in Palestine may find

My broken hearted Waler with a wooden plough behind.

No I think I'd better shoot him and tell a little lie:

'He floundered in a wombat hole and then lay down to die'

Maybe I'll get court-martialled; but I'm damned if I'm inclined

To go back to Australia...and leave my horse behind.

Major Oliver Hogue "Trooper Bluegum".

[wattlebough]

Major Oliver Hogue, of the 14th Regiment Australian Light Horse, having survived three years of total war in the middle-east campaign, died in a London hospital in March 1919- one of many Australian soldiers never to see home again, and one of millions to die in the Spanish Influenza pandemic that swept Europe after the war. He was thirty-nine years of age.

[wattlebough]

Just beautiful mate. Seriously, nearly brought a tear to my eye- I must be going soft.

[gypsyrose210]

Thank you, don't worry, i cried making it.

[gypsyrose210]

Thanks, that's ok your video was awesome!

[ridingstar11]
