    MAGNIFICENT MOUNT

    Just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful issue AG 161. The general articles are very interesting, but the one of greatest interest to me is War horse, and the story of their activities during World War I.

    I look up at the wall in my room every day and see my cousin Granville Ryrie mounted on a Waler. He was in the Light Horse Regiment and took part in the Battle of Beersheba. I thought the photo (above) might be of interest to you.

    John Ryrie, Vaucluse, NSW
