Going further

The Australian War Memorial is a vast library of stories.

Historians often find their investigations raise more questions than they answer. Thankfully, there are many places to find additional sources.

The Memorial’s website is a great place to start. You might consider some of the questions below for additional research.

Ideas for further research

  1. Why have some called the Charge a desperate gamble? Why did the Light Horse take such a risk?
  2. What happened to Henry Langtip, and the other Langtip brothers?
  3. Find out more about Harry Chauvel. Is it significant that this battle was Australian-led?
  4. Was there an Australian war correspondent in this theatre of war? How was this significant?
