Rule 303/Accuracy of script
As has been explained that 303 refers to the Enfield 303 rifle ("Workhorse of the British Empire") but what I found most amazing is the how much of the script is word for word from the trial, they did a great job on accuracy. A great number of books have been written on Morant and the incident, the best of which acknowledge the good and the bad of the man - like all humans. "Shoot Straight You Bastards" came out a few years ago, and I have a copy of a pamphlet that was written about the incident only a year or so after it happened. A great book is Pro Hart's book of the poetry of Morant with Pro's art work illustrating it.
