Harry ‘Breaker’ Morant, Peter Handcock and George Witton’s pardon petition to be examined…

A PARLIAMENTARY committee will today consider a petition calling for a crown pardon for Breaker Morant and two other Australian soldiers court-martialled during the Boer War more than 100 years ago. The vexed question is to be considered at a public hearing of the House of Representatives petitions committee later today. Harry Morant, Peter Handcock and George Witton were tried and convicted by a British military courts martial in 1902 for executing Boer prisoners of war. Morant and Handcock subsequently were executed by firing squad in Pretoria. Original Article: Forum: News/Activism
