18th Light Horse (Adelaide Lancers)

[lettman]

Two members of the 18th Light Horse Regt (Adelaide Lancers) at a camp in the Barossa Valley, South Australia, sometime pre-WW2. They wear the 1930s pattern high-collared tunic with crimson (I think) facings, the white square colour patch with square blue centre (Glyde #464), and shiny collar dogs. The man on the left has a single service or good conduct chevron, while the one on the right sports a braided white lanyard on his right shoulder. He also appears to be wearing elastic-sided R.M. Williams style riding boots!
