First Troop of the Goolwa Volunteer Rifles in uniform
Five men wearing the uniform of the Goolwa First Troop Volunteer Rifles, with Captain (afterwards Lieut. Colonel) Higgins, in command, far left with sword, and the others holding guns. Higgins served with the Rifle Volunteers until the Goolwa Volunteer Cavalry was formed in 1864 (Information supplied by a researcher). The second man from the left is J.W. (John Huxtable Wesley Peryman). He was the manager of the Bank of Adelaide branch at Goolwa from March 1866 until it closed in July 1867. It closed due to competition from other banks and the railway taking away river trade. His rank at that time was Lieutenant (granted 2 July 1866). He left banking and went on to farming, becoming Captain of the Red Hill Rifles, and eventually going to the reserve Volunteer Force. He went to live at Mount Magnet, Western Australian in 1892 as a miner, prospector, hotel and brewery owner. A photograph of him with other miners is published in the book 'Drawn to Mount Magnet' by Karen Morrissey and Lorna Day (information supplied by a researcher). Queen Victoria gave assent to the Volunteer act of 1865-66 (Act no. 18) on 16th March, 1866. Months prior to this the Volunteer force was in limbo. Volunteers retained their rank but the various troops were basically disbanded. Under the new regulations the government would supply uniforms and pay the troopers for each drill they attended. The Goolwa Cavalry (formerly known as the Port Elliot/Goolwa Cavalry was thus disbanded and reformed in July 1866, It was then known as the No. 1 Cavalry Troop (Encounter Bay) or commonly called the First Goolwa Cavalry. The New troop did not receive all their uniform immediately and it was not until November 1866 that they paraded in their new uniforms for the first time information supplied by a researcher). The photograph appears with names of all the men in The Observer (Adelaide, SA : 1905 - 1931),edition January 29 1910, p. 29.
