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.
