The Last Charge of the Australian Light Horse with Peter FitzSimons
As part of the Australian Heritage Festival and to celebrate the library building's 20th anniversary, the Singleton Public Library will host Peter Fitzsimmons at the Civic Centre to speak about his new book, The Last Charge of the Australian Light Horse.
From the bestselling author of Kokoda and Gallipoli, The Last Charge of the Australian Light Horse tells the extraordinary story of the Australian Light Horse and their defining World War I battle: the iconic cavalry charge at Beersheba in October 1917, and the brave men who built the legend.
