| Summary: | Australian light horsemen depicted during the Sinai-Palestine campaign as a proposal for symbolic composition for a Desert Mounted Corps Memorial. The plasticene model of 1919 was cast into plaster by George Perugia in 1928, under Lambert's supervision, for the Australian War Memorial. After Lambert's death in 1930, the plaster was cast into copper alloy by E J Gregory in 1932 under Leslie Bowles' supervision. It was then assembled, chased and finished by Leslie Bowles in 1932-1935 and acquired by the Memorial in 1936. | ||
