AL007A – Flag Bearer with Red Ensign
Carry one of Australia's most historic flags into battle with AL007A – Flag Bearer with Red Ensign, a beautifully hand-painted figure depicting an Australian Light Horse trooper proudly bearing the Australian Red Ensign. Available from The Military Workshop, this striking figure honours the courage, sacrifice, and national identity of the men who served during the First World War.
The Australian Red Ensign, featuring the Union Jack, the Commonwealth Star, and the Southern Cross, has a long and distinguished history. During the early years of Federation, it was widely flown by Australian civilians and was often carried by volunteer organisations and returned servicemen. While military units typically marched under regimental colours or the Union Flag, the Red Ensign has become a powerful symbol of Australia's wartime heritage and is closely associated with the service and sacrifice of generations of Australians.
The Australian Light Horse earned legendary status through its campaigns in Gallipoli, Sinai, and Palestine, where mounted infantrymen combined exceptional horsemanship with disciplined infantry tactics. Their courage reached its pinnacle during the famous Charge of Beersheba on 31 October 1917, when Australian Light Horse regiments carried out one of history's last great mounted cavalry charges, capturing the vital desert town and helping secure the Allied advance into Palestine.
Expertly sculpted and beautifully hand-painted, AL007A portrays a proud flag bearer carrying the Australian Red Ensign with confidence and determination. The realistic pose, authentic uniform, and meticulously reproduced flag make this figure an impressive focal point for any Australian First World War display.
Whether displayed at the head of a marching troop, alongside mounted Light Horsemen, or as the centrepiece of a commemorative diorama, AL007A – Flag Bearer with Red Ensign is a fitting tribute to the courage, patriotism, and enduring legacy of Australia's mounted soldiers.
