George Essex Evans

“ Far in the fray
Where the old war-worn standard waves, and dare —
Beside those glorious folds — to plant it there!
When furious and fast the battle runs,
Australia's eyes will watch her soldier sons. ”

“ In the dread broach may Young Australia stand.
Firm as the mountains of her native land!
