AL063 – Trooper with Rifle to the Right
Across the deserts of the Middle East, danger could appear from almost any direction. Australian Light Horse patrols often operated well ahead of the main force, scouting enemy positions, protecting supply lines, and probing Ottoman defences. Constant awareness was essential, and every soldier had to be ready to react instantly.
This King & Country figure depicts a Light Horse trooper turning his attention to the right, rifle at the ready as he searches for signs of enemy movement. The subtle pose tells a story of tense patrols and cautious advances, where every ridge, wadi, or patch of scrub could conceal an opposing force.
Unlike traditional cavalry, the Australian Light Horse relied on discipline, marksmanship, and teamwork. Their mobility allowed them to strike unexpectedly, while their ability to fight effectively on foot made them one of the most versatile formations of the First World War. These qualities were repeatedly demonstrated during actions at Rafa, Gaza, and Beersheba.
Combining historical accuracy with superb craftsmanship, AL063 – Trooper with Rifle to the Right is an excellent figure for building realistic firing lines, reconnaissance parties, or larger desert battle scenes. Its natural stance complements other Australian Light Horse figures while adding variety and movement to any display.
