Queensland Mounted Infantry

There’s a very well-built fellow, with a swinging sort of stride,
About as handy sort as I have seen.

A rough and tumble fellow that is born to fight and ride
And he’s over here a-fighting for the Queen.

He’s Queensland Mounted Infantry-compounded ‘orse and foot.

He’ll climb a cliff or gallop down a flat.

He’s cavalry to travel but he’s infantry to shoot.

And you’ll know him by the feathers in his hat.

A B (Banjo) Paterson, 1900
