Jill Hamilton, former journalist, author of nine historical books, writes about her father and his horse in the Australian 10th Light Horse and its Great Ride to Damascus in 1918, its heroism completely overshadowed and forgotten by those mythmaking exploits of Lawrence of Arabia. An amazing and touching human document, it is also a serious, well-written, knowledgeable and valuable assessment of the Anzac contribution, man and horse, to WW I.
