Perth Mint - This gold proof coin commemorates the 4th Light Horse Brigade. Made up of the 4th, 11th and 12th Light Horse Regiments, the brigade served with distinction on Gallipoli and in Sinai-Palestine during the First World War.
The 4th Light Horse Brigade was formed in March 1915 and served on Gallipoli as dismounted infantry. Their most significant action, however, took place on 31 October 1917 when they participated in a cavalry charge near the town of Beersheba in Palestine, in an effort to route the enemy's Gaza-Beersheba defences. This action was recognised as one of the most famous mounted actions of the Great War.
