Trustees of the Simpson Trophy Trust, cousins Antony and Nick Simpson will be present to formalise the loan of the Simpson Trophy ‘high gun’ individual Perpetual Trophy; the rifle that once belonged to Alfred M. Simpson, MLC when he was a soldier in ‘The Adelaide Rifles’. It adorns the medal room wall.
They will also present medallions for the 2023 winning team Members, to the Commanding Officer of 7RAR, LTCOL Levon Lambert, for subsequent award to the recipients at the Battalion’s final Ball in October.
The Simpson Trophy itself, a stunning piece of Victorian silverware, and contested annually since 1890, will be on display, courtesy of the Trustees and the Army Museum of South Australia (AMOSA).
