A)
Australia

A)

was part
of the 500
soldiers
involved
in the
defence
to stop
the boars.
B)
Australia
was in
allegiance
with
Britain
and so
helped
them fight
the war.

B)

That they were

able to
surrender
twice but
refused
That they were
expecting for
the soldiers to
lose but they
managed to
win.
The Boars had
respect for
Australia
Because we
refused defeat
even though
the chances of
winning were
slim.
Australia felt
like they had
to keep
fighting that if
they stopped it
would all be
for nothing.
It showed we
were a large
part of the
fight, a large
part of the
army.

Australia
held their

even through

C)

Australia had
so many
casualties.
We attacked
even though
there were
so many
setbacks.
It was a
pointless
attack that
got Australia
nowhere.
In the
confusion
they
continued to

Australian
troops.
There was no
