Notes for Joseph Luff:

The Gundagai Independent 18th April 1988
Five surviving members of the Gundagai Troop of the Seventh Light Horse Regiment

have been invited to the opening of Australia's new Parliament House by HM Queen

Elizabeth early next month. Those invited are Joe Luff, Bob Luff, Jack Vaughan, Jim

Slater and Jack Pollack.
Jack Pollack was the "wee laddie" of the group, celebrating his 18th birthday while in

camp at Canberra for the 1927 opening of the present Parliament House. The Gundagai

Troop on that day formed the Royal Guard for the Duke of York, who performed the

opening ceremony.
We have failed to find a photo of the complete Troop which took part in that historic

occasion, but Joe Luff has found this photo which shows some members of the Troop,

whose OC was the famed Jim McArthur-Onslow, taken when they won the Prince of

Wales Cup, a trophy given for efficiency among the Light Horse Units.
Those pictured are (rear L to R) - Arthur Sheather, Stan Walsh, Jumbo Foster, Charlie

Luff, Ern Chalker, George Cherry, Col Vaughan, Bill Crain, George Smith, Jack Stuckey

and Herb Scheuner. In Front are - Lt. Ryries, Lt. Jim McArthur-Onslow, Sgt. Arch

Stuckey, Colonel Tynam, Sgt. Joe Luff and Corporal Jack Vaughan.
For Bob and Edna Luff there will be an additional thrill for they have been chosen to be

presented to the Queen and Prince Phillip in the Great Hall of the new building.

Representatives from all walks of Australian life have been chosen for this honour.
