Breaker Morant

Being a Relative of Breaker Morant - The Unfair Trial

Being a relative of Breaker Morant would frustrate me because of his unfair trial. I am a family member of Breaker's, I am devastating because I wasn’t contacted when his arrest was made and informed about his unfair trial. His actions may have been cruel but under orders from Lord Kitchener. Kitchener is a cruel hearted murderer himself giving orders to kill everybody even civilians. To be given a fair trial there should've been evidence that Breaker had killed them as the orders weren’t written down only given out by Kitchener’s command. He should have been trailed fairly and death was to a harsher punishment.

A Letter to the Prime Minister

Prime Minister of England, Robert Glascoin Cecil

Dear Sir, 

 

I write this letter to you today asking you to drop the execution charges against Breaker Morant. I am suppling evidence to you that Lord Kitchener sent them by oral command. Every soldier must follow orders by superior officers, in this case Kitchener. No orders are written down on paper except the rules they must follow. Morant followed those orders like any loyal soldier would. Kitchener is the man ordering them and the soldiers are following. He should be the one getting the trial. Every given order is oral and no written evidence can be given. You must use your common sense to understand that only superior officers are given letters to order the soldiers around. I am aware of his crime, but he shouldn’t be killed for it. His death would be unfair that soldiers are given the orders, win at all costs. They have to follow orders and the one giving the orders needs to be the one being trialled. Mr Morant shouldn’t die. You can trial him and sentence him but death is inhuman and against his rights as a soldier.

 

Therefore, Prime Minister Glascoin Cecil. Breaker Morant should be given a fair trial but execution isn’t suitable under the circumstances that Morant was under.

 

Yours Sincerly, 

 

Alexander Random-Name
