At Aldershot on Saturday, September 21, he became Britnin's 1949 National Modern Pentathlon Champion in spite of having barely recovered from a rugby injury followed by a fall on the roads.

Blacker, who rade Sir John In last year's Grand National, and Duckworth also carried off the Laffan Team Cup for the third year in succession. No other regiment in the British Army can claim such a record in the competition.
