Alexander got injured and lost his violin with the broken E-string. This happened in WWI at Gallipoli.
The concert had a choir of soldiers and Alec's violin. At the end his E-string broke and he replaced it with field telephone wire. The wire worked as normal and the soldier's started playing it.
Alec got injured and thought he lost his violin. Alec was sent back to NZ with his violin. When he got back he became a teacher and his violin is on display at Otago boys' high school.
the violin is very precious to the soldiers

how to do handstands
to do a handstand doesn't require much stuff and gymnastics training only balance and can take a while to master
to do it you basically just have to stand up on your hands by flicking you're feet up with you're hands shoulder width apart and maybe a wall to rest you're feet on

balance
How do we balance?
- arms out
- focus, concentrate
- eyes open
- exact weight
arms out is the stuff that keeps you alive on tightropes
focus or concetrate you choose
eyes open helps you stay on beams and tightropes
exact weight helps you stay wobbly not falling on one side too fast
