One for Liverpool Annie Part 2

I love the thought that he "wanted to have a drive built right around the foreshores of Sydney harbour in those early days, but three or four families with waterfront properties exerted their influence to stop it "  .... I can image the fight !! 

Well I'll keep an eye out for his medals Mike ! ... and if I come across them or hear anything I'll be sure to let you know !! I believe medals should be with the family ...... but thats just my opinion !!

You probably have this already Mike ... but just in case !! ..... 

Another interesting appointment in 1887 was that of Charles Albin Dalton, son of Senior Sergeant Dalton of the police ( mentioned above ) ....  C. A. Dalton was born at the Government House stables and his soldiering commenced at the age of 14 when he joined the artillery as a trumpeter; when he was 16 he transferred to the newly formed Sydney Light Horse and rode in the escort on March 3 1885. In 1887 he enlisted as a permanent soldier and was appointed to the permanent staff of the cavalry as trumpet-major and orderly room clerk (General Order No. 128). He was a man of strong character and a keen soldier. After about 20 years with the regiment he was transferred to the Mounted Rifles as regimental sergeant-major and later helped to train light horsemen in Victoria and Queensland also. He was the only original member to witness the regiment's Diamond Jubilee parade in 1945

Mrs Chas. A Dalton (as did her mother Jessie) loved playing the piano and writing music and she would have thought it wonderful the their old home (the NSW Governor's Escort Barracks in Maquarie St, Sydney) is now part of the NSW Conversatorium of Music.

Charles Albin Dalton was apparently only 16 when he transferred to the newly formed Sydney Light Horse and rode in the escort on March 3 1885...with his father, Senior Sergant Dalton; who is to the back right of the Governor's carriage as it travels down George St to Circular Quay. Thanks Annie!
