Nominal Roll of the 22nd Australian Light Horse Regiment, 5 October 1912
After the 1912 re-organisation of the Militia in Australia, the newly formed 22nd Australian Light Horse Regiment, finally became settled at the beginning of October 1912. Lieutenant John Gregory Prior was the adjutant who issued Routine Order No. 1, 5 October 1912. This order contained the full nominal roll of the 22nd Australian Light Horse Regiment as it existed on that date. Over three posts, the whole nominal roll will be placed upon the blog. This will add names to an otherwise nameless chapter in Australian history.
