Digger (soldier)
Digger is a military slang term for soldiers from Australia and New Zealand. Evidence of its use has been found in those countries as early as the 1850s, but its current usage in a military context did not become prominent until World War I, when Australian and New Zealand troops began using it on the Western Front around 1916–17. Evolving out of its usage during the war, the term has been linked to the concept of the Anzac legend, but within a wider social context, it is linked to the concept of "egalitarian mateship".
Origin
Before World War I, the term "digger" was widely used in Australasia to mean a miner, and also referred to a Kauri gum-digger in New Zealand. In Australia and New Zealand, the term "digger" has egalitarian connotations from the Victorian Eureka Stockade Rebellion of 1854, and was closely associated with the principles of "mateship", which may have had resonance from earlier use of the term Diggers as egalitarians. Many Australian and New Zealand soldiers in the Second Boer War, 1899–1902, were former miners, and at the Battle of Elands River (1900), the Australian defenders earned a reputation as diggers, who hastily constructed dugout defences in the hard ground.

She is best known for her Hugo Award-winning graphic novel Digger (2005–2011) and for the children's books Dragonbreath and Nurk: The Strange, Surprising Adventures of a (Somewhat) Brave Shrew. Vernon is also the creator of the The Biting Pear of Salamanca, a digital work of art which became an internet meme in the form of the LOL WUT pear. Under the name T. Kingfisher, she is also the author of several books for older audiences.

Tour Diary
by: DiggerBurritos every day. Instead of running to the border, I'm running to the toilet. The weather's got me pissed and I'm always bitching about something. Can anything ever go right? My bed is a million miles away (miles from where I want it to be), and it's lonely. But, not as lonely as me. They call him a maniac, that's his name. I understand that he's just human. I play every night. Sometimes I play with myself. It's cool. It's fun, yeah baby, alright! My bed is a million miles away (miles from where I want it to be), and it's lonely. But it's not as lonely as me. Tour diary.
