"The Charge of the Australian Light Horse at Beersheba, 31 October 1917" is a significant historical painting by the Australian artist George Lambert. Commissioned by the Australian War Memorial in 1920, this monumental work commemorates one of the most dramatic and successful cavalry charges in modern military history, which occurred during the Battle of Beersheba in World War I. The charge was a pivotal moment in the Sinai and Palestine Campaign, leading to the capture of the town of Beersheba and contributing to the eventual defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East.

Lambert, born in Russia in 1873 and raised in Australia, was an official war artist for the Australian Imperial Force during World War I. His firsthand experience with the Australian troops and his visits to battlefields in the Middle East provided him with the insight and inspiration to create this iconic work. The painting, completed in 1920, is renowned for its vivid portrayal of the valiant assault by the 4th and 12th Regiments of the Australian Light Horse Brigade.

Measuring an impressive 154.2 x 256.5 cm, Lambert's canvas captures the intensity and movement of the charge, with mounted troops depicted at full gallop, bayonets fixed, as they surge towards the Turkish defensive positions. The artist's attention to detail and his ability to convey the emotion and energy of the scene make the painting a powerful tribute to the bravery of the Australian soldiers.

The artwork is not only a testament to Lambert's skill as a painter but also serves as an important historical document, reflecting the ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) spirit and the significant role played by Australian forces in the Great War. Today, "The Charge of the Australian Light Horse at Beersheba, 31 October 1917" is held in the collection of the Australian War Memorial in Canberra and remains a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Light Horsemen and their enduring legacy in Australian military history.
