Nile to Aleppo: With the Light-horse in the Middle-EastG. Allen & Unwin, 1920 - 287 pages This book is dedicated to the light horsemen of Australia and to the horses. While the author is unable to write about these horsemen, the purpose of the book is to "give a notion of the kind of country they lived in after Sinai, and of the great towns they road into during the final advance, and of the Cairo they knew in respite from the dust and boredom of the Valley."--Preface |
