Harry Harbord "Breaker" Morant

Shoot straight you bastards and don't make a mess of it!

Executed by firing squad.

Harry Harbord "Breaker" Morant 1902

Sergei Esenin Dec. 28, 1925

Goodbye, my friend, goodbye
My love, you are in my heart.
It was preordained we should part
And be reunited by and by.
Goodbye: no handshake to endure.
Let's have no sadness -- furrowed brow.
There's nothing new in dying now
Though living is no newer.

Written in his own blood, and given to a friend the day before he hanged himself.

Sergei Esenin Dec. 28, 1925
