On Saturday 17 May 1913 Sir George King Hall, Admiral Commanding-in-Chief, presented medals for volunteer officers' decoration and also long service and good conduct at a ceremony held on a dais under the lee of the figurehead of the century-old Nelson, the first ship of Australia's navy, flanked by a guard of smart young Australians serving under the universal training system.
