The 1st Light Horse Battery, part of the 8th Brigade, 6th Artillery, 3rd Platoon, traces its origins to the early 20th century. Originally formed as a mounted artillery unit, it provided mobile fire support to cavalry operations during World War I, notably participating in key engagements on the Middle Eastern front. Over the decades, the unit adapted to advancements in warfare, transitioning from horse-drawn guns to mechanized artillery platforms. Today, the 1st Light Horse Battery upholds its legacy by maintaining a high standard of operational readiness and supporting combined arms missions.
