Description This is the play in which Mr Darrell foreshadowed the departure of a military expedition from the Colonies to assist the Mother Country in her time of need, some years before the exploits of the Australian Contingent in the Soudan (sic) war became matter of history. … The play is brimful of what may be termed Australian patriotism, and contains a considerable amount of cheerful dialogue.
