P.S. - Hey Nick - I meant to ask - what is the source of that poem you
posted ?... most enjoyable!

In the middle of nowhere on the way to my farm there's a monument to the
Light Horse Brigade - and the fallen locals.

Specifically it refers to a group of stockmen that rode 800km south to
Sydney to offer the services of themselves and their horses - collecting
more recruits on the way - at the outbreak of WW2.

A small effect in the enormity of that war no doubt - but it's things like
that cause me to take offence to to the attitude of the likes of Captain
Larry.
