Historical information

On mobilisation, the Australian 4th Light Horse Regiment was originally destined to go to the Salisbury Plain UK for training. However the Australian troops were diverted to Egypt to defend the Suez Canal from a threat from Turkey. A camp was set up at Mena, near the Pyramids.
