Bill the Bastard by Roland Perry - Australia's Greatest War Horse
Bill the Bastard by Roland Perry tells the extraordinary true story of Australia's greatest war horse - a massive, powerful, and intelligent animal with unmatched courage who became a legend in the Middle East during World War I.
An Unbreakable Bond
Bill was massive, powerful, and possessed exceptional intelligence and courage. He stood tall above all the other 200,000 Australian horses serving in the Middle East. But he had one serious problem - no one could ride him except Major Michael Shanahan. Together, they formed a remarkable bond that would be tested in the heat of battle.
Heroism Under Fire
When the chips were down, Bill's heroic efforts and exceptional instincts in battle saved the lives of Shanahan and four of his men. This is the inspiring story of courage, loyalty, and the extraordinary partnership between a soldier and his horse during one of history's most challenging conflicts.
Perfect for readers interested in:

- War horses and cavalry history
- True stories of courage and loyalty

A compelling tribute to an Australian legend - both horse and rider.
