Israel 2010 Australian Soldier

Although many statues can be said interesting, artistic, and well done, this one is intriguing in it's material content. The sword in his hand, the gun over his shoulder, and the bridle on the horse, along with other elements are the actual historical pieces from the Battle of Beer Sheva. These pieces were incorporated and preserved in with the statue. The sword is the most obvious up close in observation.





Charge of the Light Horse. This was an unusual battle in that the Australian soldiers were well outnumbered and on horseback, yet prevailed. I find it is the nature in Israel, where odds are often the case except for Elohim.
