Several of the Sabre team volunteer at this wonderful local Light Horse Museum. It does a sensational job of keeping the ANZAC Spirit and Light Horse History alive.
The Mudgeeraba area was a great source of skilled horsemen for the 2nd Light Horse and many locals went to WW1 and served with the Regiment. As Sabre is a proud local Mudgeeraba business, and one of the Directors having served with the modern Australian Army 2nd/14th Light Horse Regiment RAAC, we are proud to support it in every way we can.
In an age where patriotism and loyalty to country seems to be getting a bad wrap, this organisation are actively fighting to inculcate a better understanding of our shared history and a healthy respect for the nation of Australia and its history with younger generations.
Their work deserves to be acknowledged and thoroughly supported.
The Gold Coast Light Horse Education Museum Complex is a proudly ex-Serviceman and volunteer run heritage collaboration.
