Description
At a parade and sports day for the 12/24th Light Horse Regiment, the Governor of NSW, Sir Philip Game, presents the Victoria Decoration to Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Joseph Mackenzie for 21 years' service. Late in the First World War, Mackenzie had served as Senior Medical Officer (SMO) on board the Australian hospital ship, SS Kanowna. Resting on a table draped in the Australian flag is the Macarthur Onslow Memorial Trophy which the Governor is presenting to the unit as a whole. It was awarded annually to the most efficient cavalry regiment in the state.
