Summary

A standard bearer with senior officers, two women and Mr. G. McEwin, after the flag presentation ceremony to the 16th Battalion, 3rd Light Horse Regiment. [This image is clearly of the same event as that shown in PRG 280/1/17/113. That is identified as the colours being presented to the 4th Reinforcements of the 50th Battalion, but a report in 'The Register', Wednesday 5 April 1916 suggests otherwise: 'A presentation of colours to the 16th Battalion, 3rd Light Horse, took place at the Mitcham Camp on Tuesday afternoon, in the presence of Major Bushell (Acting Camp Commandant), Lieut. Harper (Camp Adjutant), Chaplain-Col. Metters and many other officers. the colours were presented by Mrs J. De Burgh and Miss Lines. They were handed by Mr G.A.W. Alexander to Lieuts. Denison and Stott, who received them and thanked the donors.'
