EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the Australian military presence in the Middle East and Egypt during World War I. The image features members of the 6th Light Horse Regiment, a cavalry unit of the Australian Imperial Force, at a Haremlek (a small fortified outpost or fort) at Telatat-ed-Dum. The exact location of this site is uncertain, with some sources suggesting it could be in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, or Egypt. The year is 1915, and the soldiers are seen in the midst of their daily routine, with their horses tethered nearby. The 6th Light Horse Regiment was one of several light horse regiments that served in the Middle East and Sinai Peninsula during the war. Their role was primarily reconnaissance and raiding parties behind enemy lines. The rugged terrain and harsh climate of the region presented unique challenges for the soldiers and their horses, making their service all the more remarkable. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of these brave men and their mounts, showcasing their resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The 6th Light Horse Regiment played a significant role in the Allied campaign against the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East, and their legacy continues to be celebrated in Australia as an important chapter in the country's military history.
