Grave of Australian outlaw Ned Kelly said found

coffin-180.jpgKelly, immortalized for using home-made amour in a final shoot-out with police, became a folk hero of Australia’s colonial past with his gang’s daring bank robberies and escapes.

An interesting typo slipped through as this article was posted on Comcast. It said Mr. Kelly used home made “amour” in a shootout.

Perhaps, but unless Kelly was a lover and not a fighter, I suspect it was home made “armor”.
