Dear Mr Prime Minister,

I am writing to you on the accordance of the events


which have taken place on the 27th of February, 1902. It
was on this fateful day that the good man and military
officer Harry Harbord Morant was murdered. I say
murdered as the trial and court that he faced were
nothing short of criminal. A court martial for following
orders. Utterly disgraceful, if I may say so Mr Prime
Minister. Harry Morant was tried and executed for war
crimes, in the space of eighteen hours. A rushed
process, would you not agree? Whats more, Mr Prime
Minister, is that the official court records were never
recovered, and the executions themselves were not
revealed to the public until 1907. Thats a lot of
misplaced information.
Harry Morant was simply following the orders of Captain
Percy Hunt, to take no prisoners. I sit here, writing this
letter, still unable to comprehend the amount of
injustice, corruption and cowardice that has been
shown by the British Empire.
Signed,
A proud Australian.
