Banjo Patterson was a war reporter for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age newspapers. He sent back news reports from the Second Boer War in 1899. He was the first correspondent to ride in at the surrender of Bloemfontein. He also reported from the Boxer Rebellion in China.

During World War I, he was an ambulance driver with the Australian Voluntary Hospital, Wimereux, France. He then joined the Australian Army in 1915. He was wounded and reported missing in July, 1916. He became a major and came back to Australia in April, 1919.

So he was in many dangerous and probably threatening situations.

Which Smothers brother plays the banjo?

John Hartford played the backup banjo during the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, but, as seen on You Tube, both Tommy (born 02/02/37) and Dick (born 11/20/39) Smothers could play the banjo.
