AL007B – Flag Bearer with Squadron Guidon
Honour the proud traditions of Australia's mounted soldiers with AL007B – Flag Bearer with Squadron Guidon, a beautifully hand-painted figure depicting an Australian Light Horse trooper carrying his squadron's Guidon. Available from The Military Workshop, this striking figure represents the honour, heritage, and fighting spirit of one of Australia's most celebrated military formations.
A Guidon is far more than a ceremonial flag. Traditionally carried by cavalry and mounted units, it symbolises a regiment's history, battle honours, and loyalty to King and Country. Smaller than the Colours carried by infantry regiments and featuring the distinctive swallow-tailed design, the Guidon was designed to be carried on horseback and served as a rallying point during battle. Every honour embroidered upon it represented the courage, sacrifice, and achievements of those who had served before.
The Australian Light Horse was formed from volunteers from every Australian state and became renowned for its skill as mounted infantry during the First World War. Fighting across the harsh deserts of Egypt, Sinai, and Palestine, the Light Horse earned an international reputation for courage, endurance, and initiative. Their most famous action came during the Charge of Beersheba on 31 October 1917, where Australian horsemen captured the town in one of history's last successful mounted charges, forever cementing the regiment's place in military history.
Expertly sculpted and beautifully hand-painted, AL007B portrays a proud Light Horse trooper carrying his squadron's Guidon with confidence and dignity. Every detail, from the authentic First World War uniform and equipment to the beautifully reproduced swallow-tailed Guidon, reflects the craftsmanship and historical accuracy for which Thomas Gunn Miniatures are renowned.
Whether displayed leading a mounted troop, featured in a commemorative display, or alongside other Australian Light Horse figures, AL007B – Flag Bearer with Squadron Guidon is a magnificent centrepiece that celebrates the traditions, service, and enduring legacy of Australia's iconic mounted soldiers.
