'Horses Coming Home'.
In 1915 a small boy saw soldiers
and horses go by train to Albany, Western Australia.
The convoys took 160,000 horses to the first World War.
Only one returned. Due to quarantine regulations they
were either put down or left behind. The boy was Frank
Smith. He wrote a poem. He gave Carmel his poem
thatshe set to music.
