Berrie has written the history of the 6th Australian Light Horse (ALH) Regiment during World War 1 from December 1914 to August 1919. Raised in Sydney in September 1914, it became part of the 2nd Light Horse Brigade. Sailing from Sydney in December 1914, the regiment disembarked in Egypt in February 1915. The light horse was unsuitable for initial operations at Gallipoli, but they were later deployed without their horses to reinforce the infantry. Plus many battles during the next four years in the Middle East: Battle of Romani, advance into Palestine, the action at Beersheba, and raids into the Jordan Valley. At rear, name lists of casualties, both killed and wounded. (Limited facsimile edition of 200 copies. No date, but about 1989 Amazon, or 1994 Trove. No publisher and ISBN printed in book.
