1916-06-01. Tent
lines of the 1st Australian light horse (1alh) brigade during bombing of
their camp. The explosion is that of the first bomb dropped on the Australian
light horse in the Palestine campaign. It was one of eight released from
a Taube soon after
daybreak and fell in that portion occupied by B Squadron of the 3rd
Regiment, killing eight men and wounding twenty-two. Fortunately other
bombs missed the mark. In addition to the casualties amongst the men,
thirty-six horses were killed, nine wounded, and 123 missing.
