Buried Ismailia War Memorial Cemetery, Egypt, Row B, Grave No. 49
The distinguished reputation of Australian horses in the Sinai and Palestine campaigns was in no small part due to the work of the remount units, which were responsible for their training. The maximum age for enlistment was set at 50, and the units contained a high proportion of Boer War veterans and expert horsemen. By the time they arrived in Egypt however, the evacuation of Gallipoli was imminent. Accordingly, at the end of March 1916 the units were reduced by half, each contributing two squadrons to a single remount unit. Later in the year, the unit was further reduced to two squadrons, and became the Remount Depot. Although based in Egypt, in late 1917 the depot delivered remounts to the Palestine front by driving them across the Sinai Overlanders-style in order to save scarce rail transport, and so is credited with participation in the Palestine campaign.

Seated: Major Edwin Thomas Leane (1867-1928), AIF Ordnance Service, and Major Allan William Leane (1872-1917), 28th Battalion. The Leane family became famous for their extraordinary wartime service. During World War 1 every male member of military age offered himself for active service and was accepted. Edwin Thomas Leane's sons, Allan Edwin Leane, Geoffrey Paul Leane and Reuben Ernest Leane, all served in the 48th Battalion. His son Maxwell Leane also served in the RAN. Allan Edwin Leane died of wounds in 1917. Ernest Albert Leane's son Arnold Leane also served in the 27th Battalion and was killed in action in 1916. Raymond Leane was awarded the Military Cross for actions at Gaba Tepe, Gallipoli on 4 May 1915. An action in which he led a successful attack on Turkish defences on 31 July 1915 led to the position becoming named Leane's Trench. On 1 June 1918 Raymond was promoted to Brigadier General. His outstanding war career and later service as a Police Commissioner led to a knighthood in 1944. Major Benjamin Bennett Leane was killed in action on 10 April 1917. Lieutenant Colonel Allan William Leane died of shrapnel wounds received at Delville Wood, France, on 4 January 1917.

Postcard sent to my grandfather John Little of by his nephew William James (known as James) Little of Mount Gambier
(Service no. 716), dated 8/5/1916. James, who was raised by his grandfather, along with his mother's siblings, thought of John (Jack) as his brother.
The post card is of a group of soldiers, unfortunately not identified, but most likely of the 32nd battalion (which was formed mostly of men from the South East of SA) to which James was attached. The card was sent from Wayville before the troops left South Australia. Sadly we don't which one is James, and the only image we have for comparison is that published in the Advertiser (30 Dec 1916) following his death in France. However we were unable to draw any conclusions from that image.
