The Australian Light Horse was no different and wore a decoration worthy of their distinction.Apart from their well-recorded wartime exploits, folklore has endowed the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) light horsemen with a mystique and image that distinguishes them from their fellow diggers. Official historian, H. S. Gullet, described them as, "in body and spirit the true product of the Australian countryside … the very flower of their race". Gullet went on to relate that light horsemen had been bestowed with a certain "native" quality, forged from Australia's pioneering heritage. They traced a proud lineage back to the Australian mounted contingents that served in the South African War, 1899-1902.Apart from his imposing mount, the light horseman's uniform differed only slightly from that of the common soldier's drab khaki, namely, by the addition of polished leather accoutrements and spurs. This was crowned with the Australian felt hat, so closely associated with the ethos of the digger. Yet in the light horseman's case, the slouch hat was often adorned with what became the light horseman's most distinctive embellishment - the emu feather plume.
