AL062 – Trooper with Rifle Up

The harsh landscapes of the Middle East demanded soldiers who could adapt to every challenge, and few did so better than the men of the Australian Light Horse. Covering immense distances on horseback before dismounting to fight, these troops became renowned for their mobility, resilience, and expert rifle handling during the First World War.

AL062 – Trooper with Rifle Up from King & Country portrays a Light Horseman advancing cautiously with his rifle raised, ready to react at a moment's notice. Whether moving towards an enemy trench, scanning the horizon for hidden Ottoman positions, or supporting fellow troopers during an advance, this poised stance reflects the alertness and professionalism that became the hallmark of Australia's mounted infantry.

Issued with the Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE) rifle, Light Horse troopers were trained to deliver rapid, accurate fire whenever the situation demanded. Their battlefield success came not from cavalry sabres, but from disciplined infantry tactics supported by the speed of their trusted Waler horses. This approach proved invaluable during the campaigns across Gallipoli, Sinai, and Palestine, where initiative and adaptability often decided the outcome of an engagement.

Finished to King & Country's exceptional standard, this figure features realistic period uniform, finely detailed webbing and equipment, and a natural action pose that brings authenticity to any display. It works equally well as a standalone figure or as part of a larger skirmish scene alongside fellow Australian Light Horse troopers.

Whether you're recreating a famous desert campaign or simply expanding your First World War collection, AL062 – Trooper with Rifle Up is a versatile addition that captures the spirit of one of Australia's most distinguished fighting formations.
