AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'In 'Light Horse to Damascus' (Hutchinson, $2.95), Elyne Mitchell comes to the book which she has probably been planning to write for the past 20 years. This is a history of the Australian Light Horse in the Palestine campaign of 1916-18. As a daughter of General Sir Harry Chauvel the author would have grown up with the history, legends and personal reminiscences of this desert war.
'Her main charactcr is Lighthorseman Dick Osborne who, mainly because of the qualities of his magnificent horse, is selected to carry despatches to and from the General.'
