Did You Know?
| Trivia | When the Professor is found drunk at the start of the film, the trooper who assists him is a member of the 2nd Light Horse Regiment, as noted by the color patch (green on white) on his right shoulder and the emu feathers on his hat. This regiment was raised in Queensland. See more » |
| Goofs | The color patch worn by the Light Horse trooper (who assists the Professor in the early scene) is back-to-front. The leading edge of the patch should show the Brigade color (white for the 1st Light Horse Brigade), while the battalion color (green in this instance) should be to the rear. See more » |
