THE 7TH LIGHT HORSE, BEMBOKA TROOP

Since that time the Troop has been heavily involved in Anzac Day and other community service roles throughout the Bega Valley Shire and beyond.

As well as the usual appearances at venues, the Troop has instituted a shield competition in memory of the late Colonel Irwin of the 1st Light Horse, a veteran of the desert campaigns of the First World War.

This competition is to be held, commencing in 2004 on the October long weekend in Bemboka, N.S.W and has the following events:

· Mounted Drill Sections
· Dismounted Drill using .303 rifle.
· Skill at arms for Sword and Lance
· Field firing of .303 at the Bega Rifle Range along the lines of a military shoot
· General presentation of Troopers and horses consisting of correct turn out of saddlery, Troopers uniforms and mounts in review order.
