In October 1917 members of the 4th Australian Light Horse Brigade participated in what is now regarded as the last great successful cavalry charge. It was the decisive blow in the British capture of the strategic stronghold of Beersheba. Paul Daley goes in search of the story of Beersheba. What he uncovers sheds new light on a dark episode starkly at odds with the Anzac mythology.
