Description
PUCKAPUNYAL, VIC. CIRCUS STUNTS PERFORMED BY MEMBERS OF A DESPATCH RIDER TROOP ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY FOR AMUSEMENT BUT DEMONSTRATE THE RIDING ABILITY OF THE MEN AS WELL AS THE ENDURING QUALITIES OF BOTH RIDERS AND THEIR MOTOR CYCLES. UNDER ACTUAL BATTLE CONDITION THEY ARE OFTEN CALLED UPON TO PERFORM STUNTS FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN SUCH SET PIECES AS THIS IN ORDER TO GET THEIR MESSAGES THROUGH. (NEGATIVE BY BOTTOMLEY)
