gratefultraitorsofthe1stkind User ID: 1344279 Australia 11/15/2012 11:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One well-known Waler was Major M. Shanahan’s mount, ‘Bill the Bastard,’ who bucked when asked to gallop. Yet, during World War I, when the Major found four Australians outflanked by the Turks, ‘Bill the Bastard’ carried all five men – three on his back and one on each stirrup - three quarters of a mile .75 miles (1.21 km) through soft sand at a lumbering gallop – without first bucking.[2] At the end of the war, 11,000 surplus horses in the Middle East were sold to the British Army as remounts for Egypt and India. Some horses that were categorised as being unfit were destroyed. Also, some light horsemen chose to destroy their horses rather than part with them, but this was an exception, despite the popular myth that portrays it as the fate of all the war horses. Parting with their Walers was one of the hardest events the light horsemen had to endure. A poem by "Trooper Bluegum" sums up the men's sentiment: I don't think I could stand the thought of my old fancy hack Just crawling round old Cairo with a 'Gyppo on his back Perhaps some English tourist out in Palestine may find My broken-hearted Waler with a wooden plough behind. No: I think I'd better shoot him and tell a little lie:-- "He floundered in a wombat hole and then lay down to die." May be I'll get court-martialled; but I'm damned if I'm inclined To go back to Australia and leave my horse behind. [link to en.wikipedia.org] |
