I see that there is a redirect here from Light Horse (H cap'ed). Should it be the other way around?, this article spells it with a cap H. or maybe it should be lower cased in the article. I think it should at least be consistent. --68.198.246.166 01:41, 26 September 2005 (UTC) I agree this should be capitalised--A Y Arktos 00:49, 3 March 2006 (UTC) Perhaps this article would be better as the Australian Light Horse or expanded to provide references to Light Cavalry and to other forces known as Light Horse e.g. Natal Light Horse, Light Horse Regiment, Cape Frontier Light Horse, or operating in the same manner e.g. Dragoon -- Medains 06:54, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

The photo of the troopers in this article, captioned 'The Australian Light Horse in Palestine during World War I' is actually a photo of Trooper William Harry Rankin WOODS, 1st Light Horse Regiment, AIF. Trooper Woods died of wounds at Gallipoli on 15th May 1915. As this was before the Light Horse served in Palestine, the caption seems to be in need of revision. The exact same photo can be found in the Sydney Mail of 2 June 1915 p14, and in Volume XII (Photographic record of the war) of the Official History of Australia in the War 1914-1918, edited by Dr C. E. W. Bean, the Australian official historian of World War 1. Here it is captioned, "Men of the original Light Horse of the A.I.F. before departure." Sorry, please disregard. The larger version is correctly captioned. I should have checked first, although I still feel the caption to the photo actually on the page is misleading. Hayaman (talk) 06:29, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
