As a guitarist, scholar of the Great War, and dealt with breeding and raising horses in my past. This is a great song and reveals yet another part of history I never knew.
The Australians on the site probably already know of this event and song, but in some instances there will not be a dry eye before it is finished. As I understand the situation, the horses were not allowed to return to Australia for fear of disease so they were to be turned over to the local population. The Light Horse knowing how animals were treated, chose to put them down rather than spend a life in barbaric slavery.
