Curator’s notes

Damien Parer
The information about 'Breaker’ Morant’s life is well documented. The detail is dense for this medium and, at times, a little overwhelming. Overall, a useful biography. It can be compared with the dramatised account of the end of Morant’s life depicted in Breaker Morant (1979).
