The South African rifle team came to Australia to compete in various competitions including the Empire Match in Sydney. The team of 14 members was led by Colonel R.Bodley, an expert marksman who had made seven overseas trips with rifle teams, the first in 1905. None of the team had been to Australia before. Unfortunately for its members the scores in the Empire Teams Match fired at the Anzac Range, Randwick, were Australia 1128, Great Britain 1126, New Zealand 1121 and South Africa 1119.
