Military Tournament Results – Trooper Bailey
The family have always believed that my grandfather, Edward Thomas Bailey, was a great horseman, so you can imagine how exciting it was to find the above results recorded in the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper in June of 1908.
Modern Day Tent Pegging
Grandad was a member of the 6th Australian Light Horse and on this day he preformed well in Tent Pegging, Cleaving the Turk’s Head (a bit off-putting and I choose not to show pictures of it), Sectional Tent Pegging, and Obstacle Racing. Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of him in uniform.
