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.

Official caption reads; "The graves of 13 Australian soldiers from the 10th Battalion who, unless stated otherwise, were killed in action on 19 May 1915. From left to right, the graves are those of 1398 Private (Pte) Charles Olsen; 1037 Pte William Cocks, killed in action on 23 May 1915; 894 Pte Albert Henry Davey; 1751 Pte Joseph Gurry; 984 Pte Charles Henry Allen; 1558 Pte Albert Beswick (actually Baswick); 101 Pte Walter Batley Seaman; 801 Private Arthur Sydney Johnson; 1357 Pte Sydney Brooke Holt, killed on 29 May 1915; 299 Pte Thomas Arthur Atwill; 1184 Pte Benjamin Thomas Thorpe; 1163 Pte John George Murphy; 1452 Pte William Altree, killed on 29 May. Post war investigation revealed that Pte Albert Baswick, coach trimmer, enlisted at Oaklands, South Australia and embarked from Melbourne on HMAT Runic on 27 November 1914; Albert Baswick was an alias of John Routledge, son of Thomas and L Caroline Routledge, of 4 Holt Terrace, Shell Street, Stanley Grove, Manchester, England" This group correlates closely with the CO's account of the battle (see Lock p46) plus three other men PTEs Cocks Holt and Altree who died in the days following the major counter attack. The CO's account indated that 11 men were killed. Ten are thus accounted for in this photograph with the eleventh perhaps succumbing to wounds in the evacuation chain. This group is now all interred in the Shrapnel Gully Cemetery. AWM Image http://www.awm.gov.au/view/collection/item/C02199/

The Tenth Battalion on parade at Torrens Parade Ground in Adelaide. It is believed to have been taken in October 1914 just prior to the Battalion's embarking for the Middle East. Torrens Parade Ground is an icon of the State's military history. Having been a militia training area since the early days of the Colony, beginning with the Boer War, many South Australian military contingents have paraded at Torrens Parade Ground prior to embarkation. These days, Torrens Parade Ground is the home of ANZAC House RSL SA State Headquarters.

'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. This officer commanded his battalion in a difficult night operation with great ability. The battalion, having already marched six miles, was ordered to counter attack and retake a village. The ground was strange to every one, and there was no time for reconnaissance, but the approach march and deployment were carried out without a hitch, and the attack was a brilliant success. This officer moved about amongst the men encouraging and directing them, and, finally, established his headquarters in an open trench well forward, which was heavily shelled, but from which he was able to see and control his battalion.'
