Boundary Riders of Egypt (1919) By Lieut. H. Bowden Fletcher D.F.C.
 
A rare personal narrative of the Australian Light Horse in Egypt. The author was Staff Sergeant-Major Howard Bowden Fletcher 453 of the 12th Australian Light Horse Regiment when he embarked from Sydney on 13 June 1915 on HMAT Suevic A29. A short note dated 7 January 1919 and printed on the verso of the introduction states in part: 'the following interesting account was written by the author several months ago when there seemed to be but little hope of peace. He wrote it in Palestine'. By October 1917 he had transferred to No. 1 Squadron, Australian Flying Corps, as an observer; he was awarded the DFC for 'conspicuous gallantry in air combats and in attacking ground objectives'.
