The emu plume had been worn by Queensland mounted units prior to Federation. This practice was continued by Queensland Light Horse units after Federation and by AIF Light Horse units raised for service during the First World War. Despite permission being given for all Light Horse units to wear the distinction, many did not, regarding the plumes as a distinction of Queensland units only.
