- Two black and white photographs used in St. Thomas Times-Journal article published October 29, 1979 with captions:
- "Ready for the Hunt - John Ker, of Port Talbot, host for the London Hunt held there on Saturday, gives a few words of instruction to about 60 riders prior to starting the 12-mile jaunt. He was dressed in the bright scarlet colour coat (the pinks) which are the regular hunting attire. The unit does not use real foxes for the sport, but 15 couples (that is 30 hounds) follow an artificial scent." (2a)
- "Riding to the Hounds - Saturday morning about 60 riders took part in the 11th annual London Hunt at the Port Talbot Estate in West Elgin. The hounds followed the drag or artificial scent on the course over the picturesque Talbot Creek valley. The event is held as close as possible to October 25, commemorating the signaling of the order of the ill-fated charge of the Light Brigade back in 1854 during the Cimean War. The document was signed by a nephew of Colonel Thomas Talbot." (2b)
