- As dusk fell on the 31st of October 1917, the 4th Light Horse Brigade - bayonets in hand - launched a horseback charge to seize control of the crucial town of Beersheba from the Ottoman Empire.
This successful cavalry charge heralded the beginning of the end for Ottoman control of Palestine, and ensured the name of Beersheba would be forever remembered in Australian history because of its daring cavalry charge.

You bloody beauties, aussies and kiwis.
My great grandfather Thomas Joseph canny was a lighthorseman at Beersheba in the first world war and he got victoria cross and medal of gallantry
Excellent, brief history of the battle also crediting infantry and artillery contributions in what was a battle won by the mounted infantry charge
Poorly written comment. It could be interpreted as both a criticism or a compliment.
@@The_ZeroLine Really. Your own thoughts or perhaps you have none, preferring to snipe. The successful result was a due to combined arms.
As a modern day resident of Beer Sheva. Found it awesome.
🙏 thank goodness
Wonderfully simple and clear video about aspects of ww1 campaigns often ignored - the acknowledgement of effective cooperation between the different nationals impressive
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.
🙏 the kiwis were legendary
@@jesusislukeskywalker4294 Doesn't surprise me. They get overshadowed by the Aussie story, it's very unfair.
My great grandfather Thomas Joseph canny was a lighthorseman at Beersheba in the first world and he was on the famous charge of Beersheba 31st Oct 1917
A few years ago I took an english speaking group to Beersheva and I gave them a description of the battle and we had a memorial trupeting at the British war cemetery.
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.
I thought it was because the government didn't want to pay to bring them back but I suppose quarantine would have made sense
@@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.
Commentary, maps, graphics, excellent.
This was made in collaboration with Operations Room. If you like this you'll love it
Very cool video! Keep up the great content the maps where the best part
200. Meters ! 100 meters oh shit ! 🐪
ANZAC spirit - never underestimate it. 👍
Love these fellows.
Johnathon Cahns' books is a good resd
When Aussies and Kiwis were close...ANZAC
I'm not sure what you mean ? we give them shit like you would a brother but nothing has changed .
Certainly a different version of the story from the movie . And of course the whole bloody war was started because the Americans sold military equipment to the Germans which not a lot of people know. Houdini was the one who taught the Germans how to fly
beer sheba isn't known as beer saaba, its known as beer sheva, beer meaning well and sheva meaning seven for the seven wells that made the city famous in its ancient days. otherwise great video!
im havn a beer right now its know as tooheys extra dry, not to be mistaken as tooheys new. same company from NSW Australia 2 different beers
How silly of them l thought everyone would have known that
Beersheba is the way I thought it was said and won so we get to decide lol
My grandfather was there I remember him being gutted about their horses and how their Arab friends were treated after WW2
It seems them oostralians have done it again
Mark there was no Israeli army at the time just saying
There were few jews in Palestine in WW1 and for centuries before that. They all lived in Europe but especially in Poland and Russia, Ukraine.
I see rocks for my sling. Shalom shalom
On the 6th June 1867 the rebuild of Israel started in exact reverse of how israel terminated on 6 th June AD 70 although i am not sure of this date
and not an israeli flag in sight !
In 1917?
@@gracecollins8415That’s the level of historical learning found on most Australian forums.
Not for another 31 years.
@@anthonyeaton5153 I think he means to point out who did the spade work and heavy lifting to enable the creation later.
Oh I see rocks for my sling.
Now look at the state of Palestine! Thank you! Türkiye yüzyılı Cumhuriyet bayramı kutlu olsun! 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
