3 April 1914

On April 3, 1914 a poem titled "'Arry 'Awker" (by one "Yaller Dog" for the Ballarat Courier), read in part: "'E's a boster! 'Arry 'Awker,/'E's a doer, not a talker,/Wot we calls a real corker,/Tho' not rash;/...An' away 'e goes a-soarin'/While the ladies all adorin'/With us common blokes a-roarin'/In our joy;"
