Displayed in the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, alongside the VC group of Tpr. Bisdee, is that awarded to Lt. G. G.E. Wylly of the 1st Tasmanian Imperial Bushmen. The brave deed leading to Lt.Wylly's VC also took place during the action at Warmbad on 1/9/1900.
Lt. Wylly was wounded on two occasions during his service with the Bushmen. He later transferred to the British Army in 12/1900 and then to the Indian Army. Guy Wylly served as a Major during WW1, was awarded the DSO and was MiD twice. He returned to India, retiring from military service in 1933 and was finally created a C.B. in 1962.





As a matter of interest, IL's SONY was quite reluctant to take the above mentioned pics due to the low light; slotting them into a separate folder. At home, IL was able to "wash" the images (contrast, etc) and the resulting pic of Lt.Wylly's group was reasonable.

IL,

Thank you for sharing these images. I don't think we have seen his group before.

Excellent photo editing too!
