1918AD
BLUEY: Australian Light Horse regiment. Bluey and all his mates have been riding horses since they were knee high to a pony. Now they are in Palestine with the First Australian Imperial Force fighting the first world war. The Australian Light Horse have become the last and only exponents of the desperate cavalry charge in the history of WW1. FLORENCE: Army Nurse: Stoic, strong minded and caring she keeps her cool in the ghastliest aspect of war. Never flustered in the perennial crisis of her occupation, Florence is life itself to all her patients. JOHN [BLACK JACK] PERSHING: General of the Armies of the United States and leader of the WW1 U.S. Expeditionary force to Europe. He can do no wrong as far as his soldiers are concerned. Black Jack has fast become the first symbol of his nation's international military power.
