@johnnyjrotten59 Strangely enough today (1 March) is the anniversary of the foundation of the Australian army in 1901. Australia was a collection of states then which came together formally I think in 1907 - however they were all independent with the UK holding only limited powers.
@alanheath Apparrently he did at least one tour with a South Australian Brigade at the start of the conflict and then re enlisted with a different mounted unit of the Empires forces. Infact I believe that he never actally fought for Australia due to the fact that at that Time the Commonwealth of Australia did not legaly exist.
Morant was an Englishman with Irish ancestry. Not Australian, He was not , at the time fighting for the Australian Military but rather another arm of the Empire's forces.
Pride and anger will blind people to the truth. The truth, no matter how hard to face, should always be our 1st priority. The truth will set you free!

@johnnyjrotten59 But if I remember correctly, Morant joined the Australian armed forces at the outbreak of war.

It's called corruption.
This is not new evidence, this is exculptory evidence hidden by the prosecution in 1902.
Police do the sme today to convict and jail innocent people quite often.
Nothing changes.
