A pictorial gallery and poem...
Miles Farmer OAM provides an insight into the role Sir Harry played in the Boer War.
Based on two talks on 27th October 2017 to members of the Light Horse Memorial Park Inc (Seymour) & the second on 30th October 2017 to members of the Seymour Rotary Club.
Sir Harry spent all of his Christmases away from 1914-1918 in operational areas.
These Forewords are gathered together here for the first time to illustrate the admiration and affection he had for the Light Horse units and those who served within them – those who were so instrumental in his operations in that theatre of the war.
