Foulkes-Taylor observed an Arab on a horse, galloping across the fields towards the Homs road. He later wrote in a letter to Lt-Gen Harry Chauvel: “We saw an Arab in gorgeous dress galloping towards us on a grey animal and another Arab just behind him, also on an Arab. On seeing us, he turned and tried to rejoin his folk (the Turks), his groom got away but I was able to get within 20 yards of him and called on him to halt in Arabic and Australian. I shot him and caught his mount, a beautiful Arab mare and rode her for the next day or so and decided to make every endeavour to bring her out to Australia.” $800 to $1000 8. 1907 Pattern WW1 Australian bayonet & scabbard.
