During World War I, the Australian Light Horse primarily used rifles, with the Lee-Enfield .303 being the standard issue. They also employed bayonets for close combat and some units utilized machine guns and artillery support. Additionally, while they were mounted troops, the Light Horse often dismounted to engage in infantry tactics, using their rifles in trench warfare scenarios. Their mobility and versatility were key to their effectiveness in various campaigns, particularly in the Middle East.
