With six Victoria Crosses awarded to Australians and around a thousand dead it is a little strange that there’s no memorial on Anzac Parade to Australia’s first war, the Boer War. Some might blame Breaker Morant.
If you want to know more there’s a Boer War Memorial organisation website they have got a spot marked out for them on Anzac Parade, but the bronze for sculptures of horsemen rampant don’t come cheap, so they’re asking for the public’s help to raise the funds.
One of those things that will appeal to some of you.
