The Tragic Charge Of The Light Horse At Gallipoli

On the 7th August 1915, in an ill-fated attempt to break the stalemate at Gallipoli, hundreds of Australian light horsemen repeatedly charged the massed rifles and machine guns of the Turkish defenders.

The charge at The Nek has been immortalised in art, literature and film and has come to epitomise both the futility and courage of the Gallipoli campaign. This book provides an exacting account of the formation and training of the Light Horse regiments, the battle itself and a careful consideration how the suicidal charges were allowed to continue when any hope of success was lost.
