She is sturdy and strong; an Australian waler who belongs to Harry's sister, Laura, back home in Australia.\nAs Harry finishes the grooming he stands in front of Bunty. The two of them, horse and master, stand totally still. Then Harry swings up into the saddle and turns away from the camp into the desert. A few soldiers watch them as they ride out. No one says a word.\nIt's their last ride together.\nThe last great cavalry charge in history took place at Beersheba in the Sinai Desert in 1917. It was Australian soldiers and horses that took part in, and won, this amazing, unexpected, unorthodox victory.\nThe men proudly claimed it was their great-hearted horses that won the day.\nBut in the end, the horses didn't come home ...\n\nPRAISE\n'A superb story about an extraordinary corner of our past' - Jackie French\n'The Horses Didn't Come Home is an emotional and moving story that transports the reader back to 1917 and the First World War' - Toowoomba Chronicle\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0732293545\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0732293545.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rushby, Pamela\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
