In the American armed forces, there are very few of us who understand [a little] of what a Commonwealth soldier means when they say 'The Regiment'. Troopers in our cavalry regiments and soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Regiment 'The Old Guard' pretty much head that list. I served in the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment patrolling the Inter-German border way back when rocks were soft, fire was new, and Cold Warriors and other dinosaurs proudly walked the Earth. By the time of Desert Storm, I'd been medical'd out of the Army and I can't tell you how pissed off I was when I found out that My Regiment had deployed into a combat theater for the first time since Vietnam and I was going to miss it. I swear to God, I think I would have been willing to commit the atrocity of your choice if I could have saddled up on my tank again. So, if it's not intruding, please allow an old American cavalry corporal to offer his deep respects and sincere regards to the Lighthorsemen of 10LH. CONGRATULATIONS on getting your colors back. A respectful tip of the Stetson to you. Oh, and I LOVE the old veterans who put together a mounted detachment. NEVER let them take your horses, boys. It part of who we are.
Re-establish a regiment of infantry or cavalry or artillery is an incredible feat that you're fighting back against the situation that caused a de-establishment of your regiment. Congratulations 10LH and @AustralianArmy
His one failing was selling the Skyhawks to the kiwis, they were a great training aid when we had them and they realised that when Bomber sold them to the kiwis at mates rates.
I was in his Rhodes Scholar class. Though I'm not a big fan of today's Labor Party, IMO he did do a pretty good job as DM for a lad of 36. But he's not in fellow Rhodie Bob Hawke's beer-drinking league, despite ample girth. Few are. Chunder!
The original 10th LH were part of the tragic and ill-conceived charge at the Nek during the Gallipoli campaign of 1915. After that disaster it was said that the pride of WA's grazing families was lost that day.
Great to see the Regiment re-raised, My Great Uncle Ted Roberts was in the 10th at Gallipoli. Was Mentioned in Dispatches for actions during the battle for Hill 60.
Stuff like this makes me proud to be an Aussie. The 10th were the stuff of heroism, so full of bravery and courage - they deserve to become a legend like the 300 Spartans of King Leonidas.
As an old Armoured Corp member and proud son of TC EDMONDSON who was CO /10TH LIGHT HORSE it was a great day, terrific parade and good to see the REGIMENT back to where it should be.
Great work. Wish them the best. Time will tell if the last plans amount to much, as reorganising the ARes in WA has been talked about for the past 20 years.
The way we are going we'll have to raise Lazarus as well. Bring back National Service. I joined at 17 for 20yrs. But with Chamberlains grandchildren in power that's just 'Dreamin'!
De-amalgamated is the phrase I would use. We have a similar setup in the UK with old and very distinguished cav Regiments now reduced to Squadron or Troop size within newer amalgams. Very rare for a unit to be fully disbanded.
@@GAFloppa - Thanks for the comment. Nice to know Blighty is taking an interest. But it was not amalgamated with any other regiment. It was simply A Squadron, 10th Light Horse. Now expanded to more squadrons. Did a brief search for how many but didn’t find an answer. [edit - I just rewatched it and the brigadier used ‘re-raised’. I think I might stop quibbling.] [edit 2 - and you're right, it was under an infantry battalion HQ. I guess that is amalgamated.]
XLH Regiment has continually served since formation in 1914. The raising (again) from A Sqn XLH, to a Regiment provides current & future generations of West Australians additional capacity to undertake purposeful service within the ADF. (In memory of Pte CW Wood No. 547 of the original contingent (1914-1919) RIP `Pop' - Don Sivyer (XLH)
Big Thumbs up 10 LH,From canada...Could the people the re-raised come up to Canada and Talk to the powers here about Esprit de Corps with in the armed forces?PLEASE
..oh dear. Queen Alexandra's Mounted Rifles, tracing its history back to 1864, sport amber and black as its regimental colours. Their guidon party also carry lances with amber and black pennons. QAMR are the oldest serving regular force unit in the New Zealand Army.
Can the Australian army please get uniforms that fit their soldiers properly.The uniforms are horrendous and look like they are 2 sizes too small.Even slim soldiers look like they are chubby.Please,please,please change that horribly styled uniform.
Military uniform, ceremonial kit especially, is supposed to be snug fit. If your guts should hang out after putting on a service shirt then for all intents and purposes you are the one who should lose weight.

Without a doubt. He was the only MP from ALP or LNP to insist on raising our ADF Pay levels above the poverty line.

Congratulations to the men and women of 10th LH - I am delighted to see the Regiment reraised.

Goodday Congratulations to the 10th light horse may you have a glorious history.From a old 1st\15th member
Would really like to see the 6th LH reraised as well if it hasn’t been already!
a very nice show for the light horse
I wish I could had been there! Good to see it kept its name, Tradition is very important, we have to preserve it. From "Squizzy" 1991-1994
Proud of the Army in West Australia - proud of our Governor Kim Beazley
Yep Bomber is pretty fair dinkum. He was too good to be a Polly.
FANTASTIC NEWS congats from an old 4th/19th Trooper.

Good to see them re-raised . Like to see them carry a .303 and the Emu Feathers again on a Ol Waler
Hawkei’s look awesome 😎
Great to see the Australian military in action my son is on parade here..
Proud parent I suspect, and so you should be, good on you and him.
Excellent..👍GOD SPEED..young men and women🙏you all do us proud to be a AUSSIE..🇦🇺💪🦘Take care..
Great work. Wish them the best. Time will tell if the last plans amount to much, as reorganising the ARes in WA has been talked about for the past 20 years.
Love it. Good one
Lest We Forget , 🇦🇺 .
The army should have a legacy of light horse regiments and it goes back to Gallipoli and famous charge of Beersheba during world war 1
My grandfathers served 10th Lighthouse
Welcome back to the line
Percute et Percute Velociter
Its a Good day for the commonwealth 🇬🇧🇦🇺
Well done and congratulations stay safe all
Great stuff, very happy indeed for the 10th to be reinstated. Are they ARES or ARA?
I'd say ARES, most LH units are
Reserve
So Dope. Sah lute!!
Wouldn't it be grand if they retained a squadron of horse mounted lads
And they have gone MRAP/ Hawkie....JESUS EFFIN HELL!
The way we are going we'll have to raise Lazarus as well. Bring back National Service. I joined at 17 for 20yrs. But with Chamberlains grandchildren in power that's just 'Dreamin'!
Not re-raised. A Squadron's been on the OB for a long time. 'Boosted to full strength'?

It's the re-raising of 10th light horse as a Regiment, A and B squadron. Previously had been only A squadron under 11/28 regimental command.
@@rocklobster112 - oh right, ta. raising a regimental HQ.

Why didnt i see this on the news??
They're to busy promoting the reset.
.....Ooops. I meant to say covering the pandemic.
Now to raise an ARA squadron
very good to see and why not re-raise some of the WW2 battalions like the 22nd , 29th/46th and 37th/52nd infantry battalions

Is that a VC medal on his chest?
No. The ribbon was burnt orange not maroon the ribbon is a commendation for gallantry
VC has a Maroon ribbon
My great grandfather Thomas Joseph canny was a lighthorseman at Beersheba and Gallipoli

Best country
Send them to sort out Victoria Police.
Are those horses vaxed?
Cheaper than submarines I guess.
Congrats...wonder if these amazing soldiers will be deployed against the WA public like in Sydney? Hmm.
Light horse was infantry!! NOT A CAV UNIT !

Re raised to use against the people more like
