At the beginning of the Second World War Light Horse units were raised as part of the 2nd AIF but by 1941 all had been mechanised - the newly created armoured units dropping their old titles. Recently the Australian Army Armoured Corps and Reserve Armoured units adopted the emu plume as part of their head dress.
