  • I may not be Australian, but from what I know about the Australian Lighthhorsemen your grandfather had SERIOUS BALLS. I love cavalry.

  • Gen Allenby walked bareheaded into Jerusalem at the head of his force sometime after the battle of Beersheba, issued a proclamation of free worship and freedom to all. Its a disgrace to him and to his soldiers - including the light horse- that this is no longer so and that the inhabitants at that time are dispossessed of their lands.

  • @gnarkillkicksass haha yes so I have been told by almost everyone. Oh well, we'll see what the future throws at me.

  • @s0052701 Go the 2nd/14th! If you can put up with being treated like crap the ceremonies are great!

  • My Great-Great-Great Uncle was killed on the landing at Gallipoli. His father (38 and brothers, 18 and 19) went on to be killed at the western front. Beginning of hell, birth of a nation....

  • @s0052701 Song of Australia

  • Could someone PLEASE tell me what song this is! I need lyrics!

  • Tasmanians Lighthorse were the best!

  • Yay Lighthorse, reading a bokk about them at the moment Chauvel and his mounted infantry rocked the first world war. If I go to full time army i'd defs try for the Queensland Mounted Infantry, for traditions sake :)

  • It's an honor to grace a video of a real hero. Your grandather was a genuine hero. I think they had a charcter based on you grandfather in "The Lighthorsemen" movie.

  • Mate, I suggest that you do a bit more research before you make ignorant comments like that, or someone may just label you a hypocrite. Allenby made the speech because the Turks, being Muslim, did not allow religious freedom. The modern State of Israel in which Beersheba sits, has always allowed religious freedom. It is a democracy, unlike its adjacent Arab neighbours; furthermore no Arabs were dispossessed in Israel. Don't use your Grandfather's name to support your bigotry.
