The letter by Scotsman Donald Gray Sutherland, dated July 8, 1880, provides an account during the siege at Glenrowan in which an armour-clad Kelly was shot and captured.Sutherland’s letter to his parents in Scotland, says: “The Kelly’s are annihilated. The gang is completely destroyed …”Ned Kelly, pictured in 1874.Sutherland even enclosed a lock of hair from Kelly’s horse with the letter, noting in the postscript: “The hair enclosed is from the tail of Ned Kelly the famous murderer and bushranger’s mare. His favourite mare who followed him all around the trees during the firing. He said he wouldn’t care for himself if he thought his mare safe.”“He was wounded in 5 or 6 places, only in the arms and legs – His body and head being encased in armour made from the moule (sic) boards of a lot of ploughs“After his capture he became very tame and conversed freely with those who knew him. Not having the pleasure of his acquaintance I did not speak to him although I should have liked very much to ask why he never stuck up the Bank of Victoria at Oxley.“Poor Ned, I was really sorry for him. To see him lying pierced by bullets and still showing no signs of pain.” Australian Light Horse 20cm x 18cm The Battle of Beersheba On 31 October 1917, the heavily fortified town of Beersheba was the scene of a historic charge by the men of the 4th Australian Light Horse Brigade.Commencing at dusk, the brigade stormed the town, using their bayonets as swords in a highly unconventional charge.
