In An Outline History of the Great War its described as the "ANZAC Mounted Division, with a contingent of infantry equivalent to two brigades".[7] Woodward in Hell in the Holy Land describes it as the "ANZAC Mounted Division, the 20th Indian Infantry Brigade and some other units".[8]Paddy Griffith in The Great War calls it "a reinforced cavalry division", Bou describes it as "nearly equivalent to two divisions."[9] The force had a ration strength of "8,000 British, 3,000 Indian, 500 Egyptian Camel Transport Corps on 30 September".[10]
