JustWatchThe Light Horse Century
Beersheba - the last great cavalry charge in history. On the 31st of October, 1917, 800 Australian men rode out into the setting sun to capture the precious water wells of Beersheba or face disaster. That day they changed the course of the war in the Middle East, and entered the realm of history. Now,100 years later, members of the Australian Light Horse Association are on a pilgrimage to follow in the footsteps of the Light Horse, as they recreate the difficult and dangerous journey the ANZAC’s took. in a commemoration and celebration attended by Prime Ministers and Governors General, and cheered on by thousands of spectators, the riders will cross the same ground that those heroic men had a century ago.
