"Sandy,'' one of the chargera thai accompanied the late General Bridgea when he left Australia on the Orvieto in October, 1914, has returned to Australia. After more than four years' honorable service (says an Australian paper) he has been brought back—partially blind, and altogether less slick and fiery than when he went away—to spend his remaining days in the well-grassed paddocks near his master's grave at Duntroon. AH the men in the First Australian Division knew "Sandy." A wellbred upstanding bay, his appearance commanded admiration, and the late General Bridges was immensely proud of him. When that splendid soldier went to Gallipoli in command of the Australian troops, "Sandy" remained in Egypt, and after his master's death he found another eowner. Later he was sent Ito France, where, after many stirring . experiences, he was gassed, after his 1 rider had been killed by a fragment of , shell. "Sandy" did not die, but the skill and care of the surgeons were powerless to save his eyesight. After many days he had recovered sufficiently to be placed on a returning transport, and arrived in Australia last week. Many thousands of horses have been sent to the war from Australia, but "Sandy" is the only one that has been returned.
