1901 - [RETURNED SOLDIERS]
Source: Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative (NSW : 1890 - 1954) Thu 1 Aug 1901 Page 9On Friday last two of Gulgong's Transvaal heroes were accorded a reception. Troopers Hugh Walls and Herb Taylor were seated in a sulky and pulled all round the town. The Gulgong and Salvation Army bands were in the van and played martial airs. About 100 people with torches and Chinese lanterns followed, and the cheering all along the route was deafening. The proceedings were very enthusiastic. The returned warriors look very well after their experience at the front, and they seem to have had a rough time from accounts of their travels related by them.
