  • The Charge at Kaukab took place on 30 September 1918 about 10 miles (16 km) south of Damascus during the pursuit by Desert Mounted Corps following the decisive Egyptian Expeditionary Force victory at the Battle of Megiddo and the Battle of Jisr Benat Yakub during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign of World War I. As the Australian Mounted Division rode along the main road north, which connects the Galilee with Damascus via Quneitra, units of the division charged a Turkish rearguard position located across the main road on the ridge at Kaukab. Following the victories at the Battle of Sharon and Battle of Nablus during the Battle of Megiddo, remnants of the Ottoman Seventh and Eighth Armies retreated in columns towards Damascus from the Judean Hills. They left rearguards at Samakh, at Tiberias and at Jisr Benat Yakub, all of which were captured by the Australian Mounted Division. Remnants of the Fourth Army retreating in columns towards Damascus along the Pilgrims' Road through Deraa, were pursued by the 4th Cavalry Division, which attacked a rearguard at Irbid. German and Ottoman remnants of the Seventh and Eighth Armies which had formed the defeated garrisons of Samakh and Tiberias, after being pushed back again from their next defensive positions at Jisr Benat Yakub, joined part of the defenders of Damascus and entrenched themselves at Kaukab on the high ground on both sides of the main road coming from Jerusalem to Damascus via Nablus and Quneitra. Here the 4th and 12th Light Horse Regiments charged up and onto the ridge capturing part of the rearguard, while the remainder withdrew in disorder as the 5th Light Horse Brigade on the western side outflanked their positions.

  • A carga em Kaukab foi travada em 30 de setembro de 1918 em Kaukab, 16 km a sul de Damasco, durante a perseguição às tropas otomanas e alemãs em retirada, levada a cabo pelo Corpo Montado do Deserto aliado que culminou com a Conquista de Damasco. A perseguição seguiu-se à vitória decisiva da Força Expedicionária Egípcia na Batalha de Megido, durante a fase final da Campanha do Sinai e Palestina da Primeira Guerra Mundial. A carga ocorreu quando a Divisão Montada Australiana cavalgava para norte ao longo da principal estrada que ligava a Galileia a Damasco; algumas unidades dessa divisão carregaram sobre uma posição de retaguarda otomana situada na estrada, na serrania de Kaukab, na região de Hauran. Na sequência das vitórias nas batalhas de Sarom e de Nablus, durante a Batalha de Megido, o que restava do Sétimo e Oitavo exércitos otomanos retiraram em colunas dos montes da Judeia em direção a norte, para Damasco. Deixaram posições de retaguarda em Samakh, Tiberíades e em Jisr Benat Yakub (ponte das filhas de Jacó), todas elas capturadas pela cavalaria australiana. Restos do Quarto Exército otomano que retiravam pela Estrada dos Peregrinos, através de Daraa, foram perseguidos pela 4.ª Divisão de Cavalaria indiana que atacaram a retaguarda inimiga em Irbid. As tropas otomanas e alemãs que restavam dos 7.º e 8.º exércitos, que tinham constituído as guarnições derrotadas de Samakh e de Tiberíades, depois de terem sido expulsas das suas posições defensivas em Jisr Benat Yakub, juntaram-se aos defensores de Damasco e entrincheiraram-se em Kaukab, em terreno alto dos dois lados da principal estrada entre Jerusalém e Damasco via Nablus e Quneitra. Ali, o 4.º e 12.º regimentos australianos de cavalaria ligeira carregaram sobre a encosta, capturando parte da retaguarda, enquanto que o resto dos defensores debandaram em retirada quando a 5.ª Brigada de cavalaria ligeira, constituída por australianos e franceses flanqueou as suas posições no lado ocidental.
