===Memorial statue=== [[File:Waler.JPG|thumb|Memorial to the Australian Light Horse, Tamworth, NSW]] [[File:Waler (2).JPG|thumb|A plaque on the Waler horse memorial, Tamworth, NSW.]] A memorial statue to the Waler Light Horse<!--this is a military designation, hence a title--> was erected at [[Tamworth, New South Wales]] as a tribute to the men of the ANZAC Corps who served in the Boer, Sudan and First World Wars. This memorial was constructed at a cost of $150,000, funded by grants from Federal and State Governments, the [[Tamworth Regional Council]], Joblink Plus and donations from business houses, property owners, RSL Members and the community. It was designed and created by sculptor Tanya Bartlett from [[Newcastle, New South Wales]]. The military equipment is identical to that used in the First World War. Forty-seven light horse re-enactment riders and the [[12th/16th Hunter River Lancers]] took part in the unveiling by Major General [[William James (Australian general)|William B. "Digger" James]] AC MBE MC (Retd) on 29 October 2005.<ref>The Waler Light Horse Statue, Tourism, Tamworth</ref>
