Genuine 13th Australian Light Horse - "The Devils Own".

[2747andy]

Gentlemen,
I've often heard our Antipodean members lamenting about the lack of Good Australian items for sale! Well here goes, it is one of my Ebay listings, so apologies if some members don't agree with the touting of wares on this Forum, but it is a scarce item and I thought it would be of interest to Australian members.

The 13th Light Horse Regiment was formed at Broadmeadows in Victoria in March 1915; it was the third light horse regiment to have been raised in that state. Its regimental number quickly led to it becoming known as the "Devil's Own" regiment. It left Australia on 28th May and disembarked in Egypt on 29th June 1915. After Gallipoli, it saw active service mostly on the Western Front in France. The regiment was disbanded on 30th April 1919.

The cap badge and collars were unofficial in that they were purchased at regimental expense, but were worn as in the photo on the attached link:

The starting price is a little high but it is a badge I have had for a long time and I have never seen another genuine example.
