Career
Paterson, a law clerk with Herbert Salwey's Sydney-based company, was admitted as a solicitor in 1886. He began writing in the years he worked as a solicitor. He began submitting and getting poetry published in The Bulletin, a literary journal with a nationalist emphasis in 1885. His earliest work was a poem critizing the British war in the Sudan, which also included Australian participation. Paterson's work, which appeared under the pseudonym "The Banjo," the name of his favourite horse, appeared in the journal over the next decade. He formed friendships with other important writers in Australian literature, such as E.J. Brady, Harry "Breaker" Morant, Will H. Ogilvie, and Henry Lawson are among those who have read the Brady, Harry "Breaker" Morant's biography. Paterson, in particular, became involved in a friendly rivalry with Lawson over the allure of bush life.
During the Second Boer War, Paterson was a war correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, sailing for South Africa in October 1899. Winston Churchill and Rudyard Kipling, as well as British army chiefs Kitchener, Roberts, and Haig all arrived.
Kimberley's illuminating accounts of his release, surrender of Bloemfontein (the first journalist to fly in), and the capture of Pretoria attracted the interest of the British press. In Paterson's papers at the National Library of Australia in 2020, an unopened box of chocolates made by Cadburys for Queen Victoria as a 1900 New Year's gift to troops serving in South Africa. He served as a reporter during the Boxer Rebellion, where he first interviewed George "Chinese" Morrison and later wrote about his meeting. He was editor of the Sydney Evening News (1904–06) and of the Town and Country Journal (1907–08).
After a trip to the United Kingdom in 1908, he decided to abandon journalism and writing and relocate with his family to a 16,000-acre (40,000-acre) farm near Yass.
Paterson did not qualify as a reporter covering the war in Flanders, but he did become an ambulance pilot for the Australian Voluntary Hospital in Wimereux, France. He returned to Australia early in 1915 and, as an honourary vet, travelled on three voyages with horses to Africa, China, and Egypt. He was first commissioned in the 2nd Remount Unit, Australian Imperial Force, on October 18, 1915, and later as the unit's commanding officer and reporting missing in July 1916 and Egypt's Cairo, Egypt. He was repatriated to Australia and discharged from the army in April 1919 after being promoted to the rank of major. His wife had joined the Red Cross and spent time in an ambulance unit near her husband.
