Curator Talk: The Light Horse - Neil Sharkey

Join Shrine Curator Neil Sharkey as he unravels the many myths and legends of the Australian Light Horse in the Middle East. While Australian infantry served in the grim trenches of the Western Front, their Light Horse comrades fought a mobile war against the Ottoman Turks in the desert wastes of Sinai, Palestine and Syria. This special centenary exhibition extends beyond the legendary attack on Beersheba and features paintings by Sidney Nolan, George Lambert and Susan McMinn. The Light Horse: Australians in the Middle East will be on display at the Shrine of Remembrance until October 2018. The Shrine is open daily from 10am to 5pm.
