The "Adelaide Rifles" Battalion Shooting Team, with Captain Miles Beevor seated in the centre c 1912. They are equipped with what appear to be brand new SMLE No 1 Mk III* rifles possibly straight from the then new Small Arms Factory at Lithgow. A couple of the NCOs have seen Boer War or other British Colonial service. Miles Beevor was acting CO of the Battalion in the latter stages of ANZAC and later commanded the 52nd battalion in France until he was wounded at Pozieres. He was repatriated to Australia.
