The "Charge" artwork has been used for a variety of projects over the years. As seen above: the Light Horse Association used the artwork on their Commorative Coin recognising the 90th Anniversary of the Charge at Beersheba. A CD Cover for the album 'The Lighthorseman' by H.M.A.S. Vendetta. And was adapted for the R.M. Williams stage production logo of the Heroes of the Light Horse.
