There is a beautiful monument, a well preserved Commonwealth cemetery, and a museum in Beersheba dedicated to ANZAC soldiers. May memory of these brave men be blessed forever.

I’m curious what the weight is that a camel would carry in a typical load-out, as well as maximum amount.

Are they still incorporated? Do they march up the Royal Mile in Edinburgh playing : "The Camels are coming, hurrah ... hurrah."

For the vehicle fans, the main footage shows a LSWR 0395 engine, and good shots of a Holt tractor at work.....nerd alert 😂

Can't wait for all the Australians to show up and stay going on (& on & on) about the battle and how the Australian Light Horse won the entire war single handed, and that no one ever talks about it.

One hump, or two? Just curious. Kind of looks like two, but hard to say from this.

800 Australians did what 20000 British had failed at and captured Beersheba to break the stalemate against Turkey.
