AL062 – Trooper with Rifle Up
Capture the determination and discipline of Australia's legendary mounted infantry with AL062 – Trooper with Rifle Up, a beautifully hand-painted figure from Thomas Gunn Miniatures depicting an Australian Light Horse soldier advancing with his rifle held ready for action. Available from The Military Workshop, this dynamic figure embodies the courage and professionalism that made the Australian Light Horse famous throughout the First World War.
The Australian Light Horse was unlike traditional cavalry. Although mounted on horseback for speed and mobility, the men usually fought on foot, using their horses to rapidly reach the battlefield before dismounting to engage the enemy as highly trained infantry. Armed with the dependable Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE) rifle, Australian troopers became renowned for their accurate marksmanship, initiative, and ability to fight effectively in some of the harshest conditions on earth.
Serving across Gallipoli, Sinai, and Palestine, the Australian Light Horse earned an enviable reputation for courage and endurance. Whether defending isolated positions, advancing across open desert, or storming enemy strongholds, these soldiers consistently demonstrated the determination and resourcefulness that became hallmarks of the Australian Army. Their victories at Romani, Magdhaba, Rafa, Beersheba, and Megiddo secured their place among the most respected mounted troops of the Great War.
Expertly sculpted and beautifully hand-painted, AL062 depicts a trooper moving forward with his rifle raised, alert and ready to engage the enemy at a moment's notice. The authentic uniform, field equipment, and lifelike pose make this figure a superb addition to any Australian Light Horse display, whether portraying a battlefield advance, defensive action, or patrol.
Whether displayed alongside mounted horsemen, dismounted infantry, or supporting figures from the Australian Light Horse range, AL062 – Trooper with Rifle Up brings realism, movement, and historical authenticity to any First World War collection.
