OUR photo this week is from the Bathurst District Historical Society Gregory glass plate collection. It features the procession for the funeral of Charles Bradley, who died in a railyard accident at Bathurst on February 12, 1918. The Bathurst District Band is led by the deputy-bandmaster W. O'Dea.

The band played for both funerals of the two railway men killed at the locomotive works the day before.
