	Anzac Mounted Division - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Anzac Mounted Division was a mounted infantry (light horse) division formed in March 1916 in Egypt during World War I following the Battle of Gallipoli when the Australian and New Zealand mounted regiments returned from fighting as infantry.
		During the Sinai campaign, the Australian 3rd Light Horse Brigade was also part of the division before moving to the Imperial Mounted Division (which was subsequently retitled the Australian Mounted Division).
		During 1917 the British 22nd Mounted (Yeomanry) Brigade was attached to the division.

	The First Gaza Engagement
		The 54th Division, which was encamped on the night of the 25th about Inseirat, would press forward across the Ghuzze in readiness to support the 53rd, and was to assist the Imperial Mounted Division if the latter were strongly attacked.
		The function of the mounted troops was to keep the ring for the infantry; and when the horsemen and Camels had closed all roads out from Gaza, and were in position against any Turkish relieving columns which might attempt to march in, they waited anxiously for the sound of the attack of the 53rd Division.
		So confident were the brigadiers of Chauvel's division that they were in no danger from the enemy, that no precautions were taken against noise or lights, and the course of the column was clearly marked by the striking of matches as the men lit their pipes and cigarettes.

	Second Battle of Gaza
		At 7.15 am on April 19, the 53rd Division advanced on the extreme left (west) of the front, aiming for the sand dunes between Gaza and the Mediterranean shore.
		This was followed shortly after by the 52nd Division (155th and 156th Brigades) attacking in the centre against Gaza and Ali Muntar and the 54th Division (161st and 162nd Brigades) attacking on the right between Gaza and the "Tank" Redoubt.
		However, one tank operating to the right of the 54th Division on the front facing a strong redoubt that was to become known as "Tank" Redoubt, did enable the infantry to make their most significant gain of the battle.

	The World at War - Robertson
		Returning to Egypt the horsemen were quite enthusiastic to regain their mounts although there were many empty saddles to fill and time to devour in training for mounted operations across the Sinai desert.
		In due time with the raising of the Second AIF divisions for overseas service Brigadier Robertson became one of the three brigade commanders in the 6th AIF Division as senior officers were posted to new formations.
		During these difficult days the establishment of the Commonwealth Division owed much to the effectiveness of Robertson's command and when it became operational the mixed formation went on to be regarded as one of the best in that most difficult theatre of war.
