Synopsis:
Designated as Divisional Cavalry during the First World War, The Otago Mounted Rifles (OMR) had a different war from other New Zealand Mounted Rifles Regiments. At Gallipoli they were the first mounted rifleman to arrive at Anzac Cove. They fought with distinction during the harrowing August offensive and the survivors were among the last to leave the Peninsula.
On the Western Front they were part of the ANZAC Mounted Regiment. At Messiness in April 1917, the OMR made history with their stirring cavalry charge under intense fire.
This unit holds a distinguished position in the history of Otago and Southland and with in the military  heritage of New Zealand.
