Chronology
The role of the Light Horse in these battles during this period needs to be placed in that context, ensuring that it is not overstated but also not understated too.
The compiled list is in two parts, the first being a chronological list in strict date order while the second is in alphabetical order. The aim is to allow a ready reference to a specific battle by date or name.
