TROOPER JOHN DONALDSON of the 22nd Light Horse Regiment with his trusty steed, Sinai-Beth were among the Anzac Day marchers in Westbury on Anzac Day. About 200 people attended the service at the Cenotaph which included a fallen soldiers round table complete with crisp white tablecloth, empty place setting with slice of lemon, red rose, bible, bayonet, hat and boots. The Meander Valley Choir performed three well known songs from the war era. As part of the commemoration Mr Philip Harvey remembered his grandfather Sergeant Norman George Harvey of Westbury who served in the 3rd light Horse.
