Harry Breaker Morant was known for his work as an Anglo Australian drover, horseman, bush poet and soldier. His skill with horses earned him his nickname the Breaker. He was well educated and intelligent, and became a published poet with a bulk of his work appearing in The Bulletin.

Harry Breaker Morant was born in Devon England, in the early 1865. He spent his childhood working in the Union Workhouse near Bridgewater England, where his mother was employed.

He is claimed to be the son of Admiral Sir George Digby Morant of the Royal Navy, but the Admiral is said to have denied it. Breaker Morant, through unknown circumstances, came into the care of a rich Scottish author, soldier, hunt – master and golfer George White-Melville.

Breaker Morant immigrated to Australia in 1884 and settled in outback Queensland. Over the next fifteen years, he worked in Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia; he made a name for himself as a hard drinking, womanizing bush poet and gained a reputation as a fearless and expert horseman.

Seeing it as a chance to return to England, Breaker Morant enlisted with the second contingent of the South Australian Mounted Rifles, in 1899. After training he was appointed Lance Coropral, and his regiment departed for Transvaal in South Africa on February 27 1900.

Breaker Morant’s court martial took place on several stages. The main charges were that between July and September he had incited his co accuesed, Handcock, Lt George Witton and others under his command to kill about twenty people, including the Boer War commando Visser, the German Missionery Hesse, a group of eight Boer POW’s, and Boer civillian adults and children.

The first case was the murder of Visser, and no announcement of the verdict was made. The eight Boer case took place next on January 31st 1902, where Eight Boers were shot allegedly after surrendering, and the last case was the German Missionery Hesse, which started on February 17.

While the trial was underway, Boer commando’s launched a surprise attack on Pietersburg. Surprisingly Morant and his co accused were released from their cells and given weapons. They fought bravely, but had to resume trial.

Although Major Thomas did his best to defend them, Breaker Morant and Handcock were found guilty, and sentenced to death by firing squad. George Witton was also sentenced to death but was commuted to life in prison.

At 5am on February 27th 1902, Breaker Morant and Handcock were led out of the fort at Pretoria. They were asked to be blindfolded, but both refused. Shortly the Cameron Highlanders fired, and both died in an instant.

Breaker Morant was a great man, and has helped make Australia what it is today.

hi, i'm a year 11 student preparing to take my gcse's. I would appreciate advice for my a level options. I put down 5: english, history, maths, physics and chemistry. I have been allowed these choices and am expected, from my application status, to be able to manage it; but was asked to consider within a couple of weeks dropping one as this would free up more time for a social life and hobbies.
My predicted GCSE results are as follows:
English (lit&lang): A*A*
Duel Science A*A*
Maths: A*
German: A
History: A
Latin: A
Art: A*
Electronics: B
Statistics: A
Drama: A*

I have already received, having taken them early, an A in Astronomy and B in ICT.
So as you can see i am used to taking on a wide variety of subjects but have heard many stories of how gruelling the transition into AS and A level is. And so i eagerly await reply from people with past experience of how much work is involved in taking 5 a levels (i expect to drop one after AS), and any advice regarding mysituation

I asked this question a few minutes before but I wrote it out wrong. The question was What does a lion and a slinky have in common. Not difference. I don't know if this changes any of the anwers I recieved a few moments ago.

But this is to the person who made the comment that I do his homework for him. My son has a 2.7 which isn't to bad for his first year in high shool. I do not do his homework but I do help him study and if he asks me to give him a hand I will. As a parent I feel that is part of my job. I'm not going to let my son fail. Even if it means taking him to the library, staying up with him as he writes term papers and studied for his first finals, and buying this computer not even a month ago so he had a way to turn in homework seeing all papers need to be turned in via internet. So tell me where I'm wrong.
To everyone else who has helped out or will help out Thank-you very very much

My school is having this Italian fest thing and because I take Italian I have to attend or loose 300 points. I was planning on going but my teacher said she would choose people to dance an Italian dance in the middle of the room in front of like 300 people and I got sick at the thought. She announced today that I would be one of the dancers and I wanted to cry! (pathetic?) I tried to tell her without crying that I couldn't dance, dress up (believe me I REALLY CANNOT dress up), and dance BAREFOOT and she just said 'yes you can we'll practice' as if all i cared about was how i danced. I don't know what to tell her! I can't express how much I don't want to do this. if she doesn't let me go, i'm just going to fake sick or an injury because i really can't do this. WHAT SHOULD I TELL HER? please help me!!!
thank you!
