1 ST LIGHT HORSE REGIMENT. A.I.F.
Mr R.T. Jones of Linfield has given me the following information:
War was declared on August 4, 1914. The following men enlisted at YASS on August 6 – R. Davis, P. Shaw, H. Puckett and myself, R.T. Jones. We arrived in Sydney with our own horses on August 7 and stabled our horses for the next three or four days at the stables of Colonel J.W. Arnott at Pyrmont. Then Rosebery Racecourse was opened as a camp; we rode over there and were the first personnel to arrive for what was to be the 1 st Light Horse Regiment, A.I.F.
(Mr Jones' Regimental Number was 52).
