The 13th Light Horse was raised at Broadmeadows Victoria in March 1915 from volunteers from across Victoria. The regiment served at Gallipoli, Egypt and on the Western Front.

Photograph - Removal of the horse tram line in Riversdale Road, Hawthorn, E.J. Dower, c.1916
One of a series of photographs, taken by Edgar James Dower in the second decade of the twentieth century. Born and raised in Olinda, his family later moved to Surrey Hills. He worked as an adult as a clerk in the city office of the Metropolitan Gas Company, and in his role as a 'collector', he was able to photograph scenes including the construction of tramlines and associated buildings in Kew, Hawthorn, Camberwell and Surrey Hills. Later he established a real estate agency with his brother - the E.J. Dower Real Estate Agency, Dandenong Office.The image is an historically significant record of the development of transport infrastructure which was used to connect Victorians in the first two decades of the twentieth century. This development resulted from increases in population and the consequent extension of Melbourne's suburbs. The photographs, both individually and collectively, richly detail the labour of workers and the tools and machinery used to create and extend Melbourne's tram network in the years preceding and during World War 1.Digital copy of an original mounted photograph of the removal of the horse tram tracks in Riversdale Road, Hawthorn, in preparation for laying the new electric tramline.Annotated verso: "Pulling up Hawthorn horse tram line in Riversdale Road, which ran from Hawthorn Bridge to Auburn Road"theme --- travelling by tram, theme -- connecting victorians by transport and communications, trams -- boroondara (vic.), horse tram -- hawthorn (vic.), riversdale road -
