Does anyone know where the "pommy bastards" quote comes from? It is not in the The Founding of Australia book.

Isaac Peyton was born in London England in 1759 he was baptised at the church of St.Botolph ,Bishopgate,to the north-east of London , just outside the city wall. Isaac was the fourth of at least seven children( other sources say sixteen children)born to William Peyton and Ann Lewis who were married at Aldgate in 1750.William was a stonemason by trade and Isaac and several of his brothers followed the trade. When he was 21 in 1781,Isaac married Elizabeth Powys(Powies) at St.Saviour,Southwark on the south bank of the Thames. On the 2oth July 1885 their daughter Elizabeth was baptised in the same church .What happened to the two Elizabeths ,or if there were any more children of the union is unknown,but by May 1796 Isaac was living alone in lodgings at the house of Richard Polesham inNorthumberland St., Mary-le-bone. At 36 years of age Isaac was 5'6"(168cms),with brown hair ,hazel eyes with a fair complexion. In late August of 1796,Isaac was arrested and charged with stealing marble worth 12shillings from Thomas Charlton,a marble slab worth Five Pounds from George Horewell, and marble and to the value of two pounds,2 shillings from Horewell and Cane. On the 22nd September 1796 he appeared at the Old Bailey,and despite protesting his innocence and countering the accusations again him he was found guilty as charged. The judge sentenced him to 7 years transportation . After his conviction Isaac spent 3 months in prison,before being transfered to a "Hulk" at Portsmouth for another 12 months. In late 1797,Isaac was selected for transportation on the "Barwell". On 7th'of November the "Barwell" set sail ,from Portsmouth England, for the Colony of New South Wales, and arrived in Sydney NSW on the 18th May 1798. It was an eventful voyage in which a plot bt 25 convicts to take over the ship before it reached the "Cape" was foiled , then when the "Barwell" left the "Cape",on the 19th'March 1798,after an 8 week lay over,a second plot ,involving convicts and crew, was uncovered and put down. It is not known if Isaac was involved in either of these plots. Isaac was a survivor, his behaviour at his trial was a forerunner of how he would behave in the Colony. Independant,cocky,with an indominatable spirit,he is credited with the quote "C'mon you pommy bastards,row harder", ["The Founding of Australia " G.Martin Ed. Sydney 1978] so impatient was he to be rowed ashore to his new life,new opportunity. In 1801 Isaac cohabited with another convict Sussanah Harrison,with whom 3 children were born. And later in his life he married Ann Blyth,but at the time of his death they were living apart. As a stonemason Isaac was in demand in Sydney,a plaque records the site of the Bent St.,Fountain,a public fountain,erected by Isaac Peyton in 1812 in Farrer Place, opposite O'Connell Street, Sydney. .
