| Narrative | See also Willeroo #1. There were two reprisals, the first of which was perpetrated by Lindsay Crawford, a well-known station manager in the VRD region, on 20 October 1892. This was the second led by Mounted Constable Browne. Lewis (2004, p 243-244) noted: ‘Writing in 1895, Mounted Constable Willshire stated that, “They were tracked up by an avenging party, and sic transit gloria mundi!” ('Thus passes the glory of the world')’. |
