Lancer Barracks and Museum, Parramatta, NSW
In 1976, Lady Galleghan donated Black Jack's
blue work dress and red cap to the Royal New
South Wales Lancers Museum, at Lancer
Barracks, Parramatta.
The donation was reported in Makan No. 230
of Oct/Nov, 1976:
"George Gough reports, that he found out
something about B.J. that he thinks, has not
been mentioned in Makan before and that is
the presentation by Lady Galleghan, to the
Royal. N.S.W. Lancer Regiment, for display
in their Memorial Museum, situated in Linden
House within the unit's barracks at
Parramatta, of “B.J.’s blue work dress and
red cap". The exhibit is set up in a
showcase with appropriate detail of its
history on a card. George feels that this
donation was a very fine gesture on Lady
Galleghan's part, and says this is the
oldest Regiment of the C.M.F. He believes
that the Regt. is very proud of the
exhibit."
