EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of the Australian 5th Light Horse Regiment's position during the First World War, as they prepared to defend against enemy attacks near the city of Gaza in Palestine in 1917. The 5th Light Horse, part of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), played a crucial role in the Middle East Campaign of the Great War. In this image, we see the horses tethered and the men gathered around a fire, their weary faces etched with the hardships of war. The rugged terrain and barren landscape in the background underscore the harsh conditions they faced. The horses, an essential component of the Australian Light Horse units, are seen in various states of rest and readiness, some saddled and others grazing. The men, dressed in their uniforms and armed with rifles, appear alert and focused, their eyes scanning the horizon for any signs of enemy movement. The smoke rising from the campfire adds a sense of warmth and camaraderie amidst the desolate surroundings. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the 5th Light Horse Regiment during the First World War, a time of great sacrifice and resilience.
