First To Damascus: The Story of the Australian Light Horse and Lawrence of Arabia (2002) By Jill, Duchess of Hamilton
 
Describes the 1918 Great Ride of the Australian Light Horsemen across the Middle East towards Damascus. Damascus was defended by the same Turkish general who had blocked the Australians at Gallipoli in 1915, and for many of the troops, the taking of Damascus was getting even for that defeat. Also includes details of the author's father's experiences as a trooper with the 10th Light Horse and the role of Lawrence of Arabia in the victory.
