3 best mates face a challenging time as soldiers in 1916. Stationed in Egypt with the promise of grand adventure, all they seem to manage is mischief in the Cairo nightclubs. But when German-backed Turkish forces attack British outposts in the Sinai desert, the soldiers climb into the saddle as mounted troops of the Australian Light Horse participating in a fierce battle at Romani and on to Gaza.
