By way of marking the 100th Anniversary, it is my pleasure to share with you some views of our 2Mx1.5M diorama from RUSI Hall, Brisbane.
The Royal United Service Institute was founded by a group of retired officers in London in 1832. The Duke of Wellington was a founder member. Branches of the Institute can now be found in many cities of the old British Empire. It is very big in India (The Indians drop the "Royal" of course)
The diorama depicts the first (of three) waves of ALH hitting the Turkish defences, after a Charge of approximately 6.5 kilometres. The purpose of this diorama is to entertain and, perhaps educate. It is not meant to be "historically accurate" per se. For example, if we had depicted the Turkish trenches accurately, there would be little to see of the defenders!
All figures and accessories are "Commercially available" with the exception of 2 buildings.
The quick capture of Beersheba opened the door to Jerusalem and shortened the war.
Please reflect upon the history as well as enjoy the diorama.
