DRUMMED OUT OF HIS REGIMENT.
Sydney, May 15.
After Monday’s ceremonies at Canberra the military authorities discovered that the Royal Standard which a Light Horse trooper carried behind the Duke of York throughout the proceedings had disappeared. • An inquiry was held and a rapid search made in ail encampments, hotels and houses, even the Government House not being exempted. The strictest secrecy was observed. Finally it was discovered folded up in a kit of a sergeant of the Light Horse. He was paraded and convicted of being in unauthorised possession of the Standard. The Light Horse assembled on Wednesday, when he was publicly deprived of stripes and ignominiouslv drummed out of the service.
