AL006 – "Dismounted and Still Fighting"
One of the greatest misconceptions about the Australian Light Horse is that they fought primarily as cavalry. In reality, they were highly trained mounted infantry, using their horses to reach the battlefield quickly before continuing the fight on foot.
AL006 – "Dismounted and Still Fighting" perfectly captures that defining moment. Produced by King & Country, this figure portrays a determined Light Horse trooper pressing forward after leaving his horse behind, illustrating the tactics that became the hallmark of Australia's mounted forces during the First World War.
From the steep ridges of Gallipoli to the sweeping deserts of the Middle East, dismounted Light Horsemen fought in difficult conditions against well-prepared Ottoman defenders. Armed with their dependable SMLE rifles and supported by exceptional fieldcraft, they repeatedly demonstrated courage, initiative, and remarkable resilience.
The realistic combat pose and historically accurate uniform make this figure ideal for recreating skirmishes, trench assaults, or defensive positions. It also pairs naturally with the mounted figures in the Australian Light Horse range, allowing collectors to portray the transition from mounted advance to infantry combat.
A distinctive piece that highlights the true nature of Australia's famous mounted soldiers, AL006 – "Dismounted and Still Fighting" deserves a place in any First World War collection.
