The Charge of Beersheba was conducted on 31 October 1917.

Beersheba was defended by lines of trenches and hills, which covered all approaches to the town.

With all brigades of both mounted divisions already committed to the battle, the only brigade available was the 4th Light Horse Brigade. At 3:30pm, 4th Light Horse Brigade was ordered to capture Beersheba. These mounted infantrymen galloped over the plain, riding towards the town.

The 4th Light Horse Regiment jumped trenches, before turning to make a dismounted attack on the Ottoman infantry in the trenches and gun pits.
History shows that these brave men and horses changed the course of the war by their capture of Beersheba.
31 light horsemen were killed with 36 wounded as well as 70 horses lost.

The 4th Light Horse Brigade was eventually amalgamated to the unit now known as 4th/19th Prince of Wales Light Horse, headquartered in Greensborough Victoria.
Some of our members proudly served in this unit.

109 years on, we honour the courage, determination and sacrifice of the Australian light horsemen who fought at Beersheba.
