Dad arrived home on his horse just before dark one evening c 1935 with his khaki handkerchief wrapped around his head and dried blood and dust all over his shirt. He was working about ten kilometers from home at the time. While yoking the team early in the morning, he reached across to put the key in the off side bullock bow when his foot slipped, and he fell on the sharp horn of the bullock. It pierced the skin and flesh of his jaw near the middle of his chin, and opened up his face right along his jaw bone almost to his ear.
The bone was exposed and the cut which was about four inches (100mm) long sagged open more than an inch (25mm). As he was working alone he took out his trusty old hanky and tied it around his face as best he could. He then completed his usual number of snigs for the day, and after unyoking and paddocking the bullocks he headed home. Kev was married and lived about a kilometer from us, and as Dad had to pass his place he called in to show Kev what had happened. Dad then rode home and Mum had to clean him up as best she could.
I was eight or nine years old at the time and can assure you the wound was not a pretty sight. After he recovered from the shock, Kev followed Dad home in his ute, and took him to the Doctor in Gympie who sewed it up. I forget how many stitches he used to pull it all together, but it was plenty. Dad was back at work a few days later. Those old timers were pretty tough.
