comment How many recorded incidents are there of attacks on Australian soil?
I can't think of any others, but I am looking forward to seeing what people come up with.

comment When was the last cavalry charge?
Yep I agree it was minor, but still more recent than your example. The OP doesn't specify a minimum size.

comment What is this military patch with the silhouette of a pegasus on it?
Thanks Christopher. I have updated to include the 1st AD. I think it is the same patch for both because it was the insignia of the 1st Airborne Corps of which they were both a part. I will update with some more detail on that :)

comment When was the last cavalry charge?
This is incorrect. Perhaps this was the last use of cav as a separate combat arm, but the last charge was March 1, 1945 when the the 1st Warsaw Cavalry Brigade charged through German lines to return to their Soviet allies.

Thanks for the reference. I clarified my false assumption about Yahara by grabbing a copy of his book (see my update). Thanks for your help :)
