One of our Kyneton Members, Judy Perfect presented the RSL in Kyneton with a mural, painted on three large panels to form the backdrop for the Light Horsemen in the foyer display cabinet.
The mural aptly depicts the Australian Light Horsemen who took part in the last great cavalry charge at Beersheba on 1 October 1917.
Here is Judy alongside her fabulous artwork with representatives Michael Gretton and Ian Jackson.
As to be expected, the representatives were very pleased with this brilliant piece of artwork.
