1912/1913 Commonwealth Military Competitions Medal for Senior Cadets

1912/1913 Commonwealth Military Competitions Medal Senior Cadets, Champion Team. Awarded to C.S. Logan 'K:' Company 36th Battln. 2nd Mil. Dist. Extremely fine and very scarce. Competition held at Sydney, 6-7 June 1913. K Coy 36th Battn was the Newington College cadet unit. An account of the presentation of medals stated that a parade of four companies of cadets, inspected by Lieutenant-Colonel A. W. Wallack, C.B., District Commandant, took place on the Newington College grounds on Saturday afternoon 14 March 1914. The occasion was the presentation of gold medals, silver badges, and ribbons to the champion team in the Commonwealth series of military competitions. Companies from areas 34A (Enmore), 35A (Marrickville), 36A (Stanmore), and 36B (Petersham) took part in the parade, and as the young soldiers wheeled, formed, re-formed, and after a variety of evolutions finally marched, colours flying and bands playing, past the District Commandant and his staff, the spectacle was not lacking in impressiveness, though, except for the winning Company, the marching occasionally would have been none the worse for a little more drill.
