The mural is a tribute to the Australian Light Horse who served in the Second South African (Boer) War and World War One.
The GrainCorp Silos at Devenish in North East Victoria were painted by Melbourne Street Artist Cam Scale and are officially the 19th Silos to be included in the Australian Silo Art Trail.
Stage one which comprises of the two tall silos was officially unveiled on Anzac Day in 2018. Marked as a tribute to help celebrate the 100-year centenary of the end of the First World War. The stage one artwork depicts a stunning image of a World War One nurse and a modern female military medic in the Australian Armed Forces. This mural also depicts the changing role of women in the military and society in general.
Stage two on the short silos were officially unveiled one year later on Anzac Day 2019. This mural is a tribute to the Australian Light Horse. The Australian Light Horse were mounted troops with characteristics of both cavalry and mounted infantry, who served in the Second Boer War and World War One.
Fifty young men and women from the Devenish Community enlisted in the military services in World War One. At the time, that was one in six residents from this very tiny town. Cam Scale also wanted to honour the seven Devenish diggers that never made it home.
