Harry "Breaker" Morant told the Boer War firing squad about to execute him: "Shoot straight, you bastards."But today, a petition will be presented to Parliament calling on the Attorney-General to order an official legal review.
Commander James Unkles, a serving Australian Royal Naval Reserve lawyer who is an expert in courts martial, has also sent a second petition to the Queen formally laying out grounds for a royal pardon for both Morant and the man executed alongside him, Peter Handcock.
