Australian horse-breaker and balladist Harry Morant was executed in South Africa in 1902 after service in the Boer War. Breaker Morant shows that Morant's shooting of Boer prisoners was probably the result of a command inciting his patrol to vengeance. Lord Kitchener, who signed Morant's death warrant, was possibly appeasing the German Emperor, since a German missionary also died...but Morant had advised this missionary to defend himself from the dangerous Boers. Undoubtedly the brave Morant suffered questionable British justice.
