Hundreds of Australians and New Zealanders are in Beersheba in the Negev Desert to take part in the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Beer- Sheva when the Australian 4th Light Horse Brigade charged more than four miles at the Turkish trenches, overran them and captured the important wells at Beersheba. This battle is often referred to as the last successful cavalry charge in history. About 50 riders took part in the charge today....Australian horsemen in World War I uniforms are passing next to the old Turkish train bridge
