The '''Australian Mounted Division''' originally formed as the '''Imperial Mounted Division''' in January 1917, was a [[mounted infantry]], [[Australian Light Horse|light horse]] and [[yeomanry]] [[division (military)|division]]. The division was formed in [[Egypt]], and along with the [[Anzac Mounted Division]] formed part of [[Desert Column]], [[Egyptian Expeditionary Force]] in [[World War I]]. The division was originally made up of the [[Australia]]n [[3rd Light Horse Brigade]], (formerly [[Anzac Mounted Division]]) the reconstituted [[4th Light Horse Brigade]], and two [[United Kingdom|British]] yeomanry brigades; the [[5th Mounted Brigade]] and [[6th Mounted Brigade]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Falls |1930 Vol. 1|pp=273–4}}</ref>

== History ==

===Formation===
The '''Imperial Mounted Division''' was formed in Egypt in 1917 by bringing together two [[Australian Light Horse]] brigades, two British [[Yeomanry]] brigades, and a British [[horse artillery]] brigade{{efn|name=Brigade|The basic organic unit of the [[Royal Artillery]] was, and is, the [[Artillery battery|Battery]].<ref name=MOD_RA>{{cite web|url=http://www.army.mod.uk/artillery/23445.aspx |title=The Royal Artillery |publisher=[[Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom)]] |access-date=18 November 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131023001138/http://www.army.mod.uk/artillery/23445.aspx |archive-date=23 October 2013 }}</ref> When grouped together they formed brigades, in the same way that infantry battalions or cavalry regiments were grouped together in brigades. At the outbreak of [[World War I]], a field artillery brigade of [[Headquarters#Military|headquarters]] (4 officers, 37 [[Other ranks (UK)|other ranks]]), three batteries (5 and 193 each), and a brigade ammunition column (4 and 154)<ref name=LLT_WAB>{{cite web | url=http://www.1914-1918.net/whatartbrig.htm | title=What was an artillery brigade? | publisher=The Long, Long Trail | first=Chris | last=Baker | access-date=18 November 2013}}</ref> had a total strength just under 800 so was broadly comparable to an infantry battalion (just over 1,000) or a cavalry regiment (about 550). Like an infantry battalion, an artillery brigade was usually commanded by a [[Lieutenant-Colonel]]. Artillery brigades were redesignated as regiments in 1938. Note that the battery strength refers to a battery of six guns; a four-gun battery would be about two thirds of this; a brigade of four four-gun batteries would be approximately the same strength as a brigade of three six-gun batteries.}} (four [[Artillery battery|batteries]]).<ref name="Perry56">{{harvnb|Perry|1992|p=56}}</ref> These units were:

* The [[4th Light Horse Brigade]] was formed in Australia in February 1915 with the [[11th Light Horse Regiment (Australia)|11th]], [[12th Light Horse Regiment (Australia)|12th]], and [[13th Light Horse Regiment (Australia)|13th Light Horse Regiments]] and was posted to Egypt in July 1915.

* The [[5th Mounted Brigade]] was formed as part of the [[Territorial Force]] in 1908 as the [[1st South Midland Mounted Brigade]] with three [[yeomanry]] regiments: the [[Warwickshire Yeomanry]], the [[Royal Gloucestershire Hussars]] and the [[Queen's Own Worcestershire Hussars]].<ref name=Westlake15>{{harvnb|Westlake|1992|p=15}}</ref> Shortly after the outbreak of war, it was assigned to the [[2nd Mounted Division]] and moved to Egypt in April 1915. It was dismounted in August 1915 and took part in the [[Gallipoli Campaign]] as 1st Mounted Brigade, notably the [[Battle of Scimitar Hill]]. Due to losses and [[Wastage (military)|wastage]] during August 1915, it formed a battalion sized unit{{snd}}1st South Midland Regiment{{snd}}in [[1st Composite Mounted Brigade]].

* The [[6th Mounted Brigade]] was likewise formed as part of the Territorial Force in 1908 as the [[2nd South Midland Mounted Brigade]] with three yeomanry regiments: the [[Royal Buckinghamshire Hussars]], the [[Berkshire Yeomanry]] and the [[Queen's Own Oxfordshire Hussars]].<ref name=Westlake15/> On 19 September 1914, the Queen's Own Oxfordshire Hussars was posted to the [[British Expeditionary Force (World War I)|BEF]], joining the [[4th Cavalry Brigade (United Kingdom)|4th Cavalry Brigade]] in France.<ref name=LLT_QOOH>{{cite web|publisher=The Long, Long Trail|access-date=26 March 2013|last=Baker|first=Chris|title=The Oxfordshire Yeomanry|url=http://www.1914-1918.net/ox.htm}}</ref> The [[Queen's Own Dorset Yeomanry]] joined in the same month to replace them.<ref name=LLT_QODY>{{cite web|publisher=The Long, Long Trail|access-date=26 March 2013|last=Baker|first=Chris|title=The Dorset Yeomanry |url=http://www.1914-1918.net/dorsetyeo.htm}}</ref> The brigade's early service was identical to the 5th Mounted Brigade until January 1916 when it joined the [[Western Frontier Force]].<ref name=Becke1017/> It joined the division on formation.<ref name=Perry55/>
* [[XIX Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery (T.F.)]] was formed for the division in January 1917 with four British Territorial Force horse artillery batteries: the [[1/1st Berkshire Royal Horse Artillery|1/1st Berkshire]] and [[1/1st Nottinghamshire Royal Horse Artillery|1/1st Nottinghamshire Batteries]] of the [[Royal Horse Artillery]], and [[1/A Battery, Honourable Artillery Company|1/A]] and [[1/B Battery, Honourable Artillery Company|1/B Batteries]] of the [[Honourable Artillery Company]].<ref name=Perry54>{{harvnb|Perry|1992|p=54}}</ref> All four batteries had originally gone out to Egypt with the 2nd Mounted Division in April 1915, but did not proceed to Gallipoli with the division.

The division was also provided with support units, mostly assigned or attached directly to the brigades, but including an engineer [[Squadron (army)|squadron]], a signals squadron, and [[Train (military)|train]].<ref name=Perry54/>

==Service history==
The division joined the [[Desert Column]]<ref name=Perry56/> alongside the ANZAC Mounted Division.<ref name=Perry52/>

During the [[First Battle of Gaza]], the division (as the ''Imperial Mounted Division'') provided protection from counter-attack on the eastern flank while the main infantry assault was underway. The brigades became the rearguard during the withdrawal from Gaza after the attack was called off.


==Battles==
The division served in the [[Sinai and Palestine Campaign]] from formation through to the end of the [[First World War]] including<ref name=Perry56/>
