"At a mile distant their thousand hooves were stuttering thunder, coming at a rate that frightened a man - they were an awe inspiring sight, galloping through the red haze - knee to knee and horse to horse - the dying sun glinting on bayonet points..." Trooper Ion Idriess

Battle of Romani, 4-5 August 1916
For those interested in the Battle of Romani and its companions, Katia and Bir el Abd fought over the period 4 -9 August 1916, then these pages might be of interest. At the moment, the Romani aspect of the battle has been completed. For those people keen to examine the primary source documents and compare them to the Official accounts, this is now available as this information is collected in one topic.
Included in the pages are some documents that came to light during unrelated searches of private papers. One particular find was a hand drawn map detailing the location of all burials from the 5th LHR. This gem was hidden amongst a sheave of unrelated material. Rather keep it hidden, it is now part of public property and available to all researchers.
There are other unique and previously unpublished documents and pix amongst these collections. We are in the process of analysing a few more pix from a collection recently made available which specifically details the actions at Romani and Bir el Abd. These will be made available soon.
The pages on Romani are collected in a Contents page and all may be found at this location:
Battle of Romani, Sinai, August 4 to 5, 1916

859 Corporal Francis Patrick Curran, 7th LHR
Possibly the most poignant account is that of 859 Corporal Francis Patrick Curran, 7th LHR. His story captured the attention of the international audience when it was published in the London Times.
Romani was the first action which involved the mounted forces from Australia working as mounted infantry. Their role would expand later to that of cavalry but this was a learning process for everyone.
