The last great cavalry charge in history "Beersheba 1917" really cool find

The mid-east, october 1917, Turkish defences which included machine-guns, cannons and trench lines with riflemen was attacked by 500 horsemen from the Australian 4th light horse.Aussies didn,t have swords so they drew bayonet and charged straight at the turkish guns and defeated the turks.This event is considered the last great cavalry charge in history.Australian 4th light horse add elements of the Victoria mounted rifles [local].Heres pic taken at the battle and my really cool find and site pics.

Very cool finds. On a lighter note, with a name like "Beer" in Beersheba in Australia, I think of...

Those are really nice finds.
While in the Negev Desert in 1979-80 I went through Beersheba a number of times. Also visited Tel Be'er Sheva a few miles away and found some pottery shards.

The shilling looks like 1907 shame its not 1905 (Very rare key date & collectable).
