my grandmothers father was a light horseman although i cant remember the details off the top of my head i remember finding a webpage which had a photo of him on there, another family member who passed a bit over 12 months ago (mabee a little more) was one of the few remaining diggers.
it is just incredible to know what these men went through for their country
