| 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. |
