Alright, i keep getting comments saying that y'all dont say Happy ANZAC Day, i am now aware for all the future comments that will probably keep rolling in if yall dont see this first... I do apologize, it was not my intent to offend, i just wanted to do something for Australia to show that people in other countries care, and give my undying support. I hope y'all can forgive me.
The dreadheaded oreo Nothing to forgive: you meant well and you didn’t know.
Thanks for the update, though.
Anzac day is for new zealand and australia
I agree with Hanny Hawkins there is nothing to forgive. We understand that people from other countries don't know a lot about our holidays over here. As a family member & also as a former member of the New Zealand Armed Forces I would like to say thank you for sharing your thoughts & comments about the song & for our day of remembrance.
All good bro, today is the day, Aussie and the USA are the ONLY countries to have fought together in over 100 years of combat. Good day to you maaattteeee
All good mate. Honest mistake. You gave it a shot. Well done.
They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them
Lest We Forget
We will remember
Lest we forget
We will never fuckin forget
Lest we forget
Lest We Forget
Dont sweat it mate. You had nothing but good intentions absolutely no offense there. Thanks for showing respect to our servicemen and women. Its really appreciated. Have an awesome day mate
I am the mother of a 4th generation Australian Soldier. Anzac Day is a very traditional day for our soldiers not just for those fallen but for our Veterans who returned. The day starts at Dawn when we gather around the nation at a cenotaph with flags at half mast. A bugle sounds with the ode and then we have a minutes silence for the fallen and the bugle plays again. Then the poem Lest We Forget is recited. We then gather for breakfast and a hot rum toddy. At about 11 all over Australia Soldiers or their families march in honour of all those who have served, are serving and for the fallen, they march lay wreaths and the bugle plays again. We have a minutes silence again and recite Lest We Forget again. There are also speeches and prayers as well. Soldiers and Veterans then head off together to remember the fallen. Talk and drink and play two up, a game you can bet on played with two coins on a board thrown in the air. You bet whether it's 2 heads or 2 tails or one of each know as Ewan. Its a time for those who came home to be with their mates. Poppies are very significant also and are worn and left at graves and at memorials. There was a photo in the video with many soldiers standing on or around vehicles, my son is in that photo. It is also in the cafe at the War Memorial in Canberra our capital. Everytime I see it I thank God my son came home. 🌺
Wow I live in Australia, it is such an important day to us thank you for acknowledging.
Same. He is really thoughtful.
Yeah I shows so much of an outsider’s character to not only recognise but also mourn the loss of another country
A proud Australian
Huge day on the Australian & New Zealand calendar.
I'm an Aussie so I'll give the Aussie perspective.
The day for me starts at 4:00am we dress in formal clothes and in the often cold and rainy dawn we head to our town memorials for a dawn service the veterans march down the Main Street to the service and arrive to applause from the waiting crowd which usually numbers in the thousands.
A veteran will then give a speech we hymns and then they will play the last post which is a haunting tune we hold a minutes silence at the end of which revellie is played wreaths are laid and the offer is then made to join the veterans at the returned services club for a gunfire breakfast and beer at 7:00am 🤣
I then head home to watch the main march in our capital city where the Australian Defence Force marches with the Veterans.
Hopefully this year I will get to enter one of my old CMP trucks that fought in WWII to carry the veterans who can't make the march on foot.

Lest we Forget 🌹
From Australia thanx for doing that! My grandfather was a soldier. Don’t listen to the haters. This Aussie loves you ❤️ keep up the good work.
The seaman on the HMAS Armidale, Ordinary Seaman Teddy Sheean, mentioned in the song was recently award the Victoria Cross for staying at his gun as his ship sank beneath him, and he fired at Japanese planes to protect his shipmates in the water. I suspect the nurse is Vivian Bullwinkle, she survived being machine gunned by the Japanese.
Thank you for the honor to our Troopers. When theY sing of 'an able seaman on the ARMIDALE ' They show a photo of one of our greatest unsung forgotten warriors. 17yrs old, wounded (twice by offical reports) on a burning sinking minesweeper still being bombed, torp'ed and straffed , returns to his 20mm, straps in and covers his mates abondoning ship. Last seen strapped to his gun as the ship slid under firing and hitting the enemy(2 confirmed kills). Edward 'TEDDY' Sheean. THANK YOU Teddy ! Because of you i have my mum, 2 uncles,5 aunties,20 odd cousins,2 sisters, 2nieces and 3 sons NO GREATER LOVE
Michael it may help you to know that Sheean is truly remembered as a legend within the Australian Defence Force. All Navy officers are required as part of their training to learn about his deeds, and the submarine HMAS Sheean was named after him - the only Navy vessel to be named after an ordinary seaman. Because he was far from ordinary.
@@AnthsLawSchool And yet he is still denied a VC. If ever one deserved to be awarded, this was it.
@@stugoldfinch1475 you will get no argument from me. I suspect it will never happen, but it would be well deserved.
It is almost certain that he won’t as the WW2 list closed in1952. That means no awards for WW2 can be made after that date. In WW2, RAN honors and awards were in the hands of the British Admiralty unlike the Australian army who repatriated control of honors and awards to Australian control. Awards recommendations had to be made within certain time limits and at the end of war end ofWar list were made to rectify oversights. I suspect the fact that there was much confusion in Darwin and no one in authority in Darwin made a nomination. Under the rules Shean could not be awarded a VC as it existed in WW2 because of the closing of the end of War List. Possibly they could amend the Australian VC but that would be odd and has already been rejected by successive Governments. On the positive side, more Australia’s have won VCs or George crosses than have had warships named after them and because of this Shean is better remembered than the other brave men who won awards. He is much honored and his sacrifice remembered. This is just an explanation not an argument to justify the oversight.
Edward Sheean VC is official as of August 12, 2020. It is the first and so far the only VC to have been awarded to a member of the RAN.

from a proud Australian thankyou for you're acknowledgement.
lest we forget
My Auntie was born in 1919 and named Cazna, which is ANZAC spelled backwards. There were not many with this name as since then it can no longer be used as a persons name. A very special name of the time.
You should try reacting to Redgum - I Was Only 19 if you haven't done so already. I don't know if it was the same in the states, but when our diggers came back from Vietnam, they were treated horribly. This song was instrumental in changing the vision of vietnam vets in ordinary people's lives. Its a classic.
Play that song in any Aussie pub and you will hear a pin drop and eyes smarting
@@SunnieSnell Yep Only 19 to get the eyes smarting, and the Khe Sanh to get the smiles back.
The Dumb Retarded Protesters Booed Them when They Came Back When Most Of Them Were Conscripts.
@@AnthsLawSchool so true mate.
ANZAC DAY is today. We commemorate our defence service men and women, past present and future.
just think, when the Anzac's where fighting this war they had no body armor and ran through smoke into a hail of bullets, their defense was speed and prayer that they came out alive, many did not. true hero's
As an Aussie I am honoured that you played that beautiful song. We have ❤️ & respect for our brave ANZACs because we will never let ourselves forget why we are free .
Thank you for taking the time to see our history, cheers mate, My Grandfather was on the Somme in WW1, my father was in the navy and z force special forces thru WW2 and my father said to me, "I went to war, so you dont have to" and my generation (1963) never had to. Thanks Dad and all his generation. The tough guys
It's like your MEMORIAL DAY.
Wow for some reason on Christmas 2020 this popped up in my feed. Yo are unlikely ever to see this comment then. However, I just want to say this was a moving and respectful tribute and your reaction blew me away. As an American you just don't need to know about this, but you took the time to find out - Respect.
From Melbourne Australia: God bless you man. My grandfather was a sniper in World War I in France. You got the name right, we say Anzac yes! It is like your Memorial Day. Our Australia Day on 26th Jan is like your Independence Day!
Thank you for doing this video as well. Anzac Day is very important to Australians and New Zealanders. In Adelaide, South Australia (where I'm originally from) each part of the Anzac Day commemorations has a specific meaning: The Dawn Service (held at the same time the ANZACS landed at Gallipoli) is the funeral service, the Anzac day march is the funeral procession, and then there is a gathering at a memorial called 'The Cross of Sacrifice' which represents the gathering of mourners at the grave side of the fallen.
As a descendant of Australian war veterans (WW1 specifically) I am allowed to march in the relatives section of the Adelaide march, which I have done a couple of times and it was one of the most moving and emotional experiences of my life. The first time I marched nothing could have prepared me for the wall of emotion that hit when we rounded the corner onto the main street, and saw, and heard, and felt the shared emotion of the crowds of people that lined either side. I remember the first time I marched there was an old digger (soldier) sitting in a wheel chair, obviously too frail to march himself: as we passed by he had the two nurses who were with him help him to his feet and hold him up so that he could stand and salute us. How I did not just break down on the spot when that happened I will never know. Incredibly powerful, and indescribably moving moment.
I lost two Great Uncles and a familial cousin (on my father's side) in the war - One Great Uncle has a known grave, the other one and the cousin still lie somewhere in Flanders Field. Several more members of my father's family also fought, only one returned home 'whole'. The rest who made it back alive returned as invalids from the damage that had been done to their bodies from the dreadful conditions and rampant disease in the trenches.
Cool you live in Adelaide? I live in Sydney.
Cheers from Adelaide, the most beautiful city to live in,
I am about to pass this Honour onto the next generation, along with all Medals, Slides and Records, think best to do so since Dad has Passed and I have his Vietnam history to also teach them. Think I would find it even richer to spend however many decades I have left watching them. Lest We Forget. with way world is at this time think it is more essential than ever.
My great uncle died in Belgium WW1, like you, we have copies of the original documents of soldiers eye witness accounts of how he died, heartbreaking to read. He never came home, he’s buried in Belgium. My grandmother (his sister) named her first son after him. I often look at his photo, never met him of course but I feel like I know him. We have a newspaper article from 1917 written quite a bit about his life on the farm before the war and what he did for the locals before he begged, 3 times to join up. He’d damaged a finger or two. When he was called up, all the locals wrote and said No, he’s doing such a great job helping all the families of men who’d already joined up please don’t accept him. I have a copy of article on my phone I read now and then.
Oh what brave men they were. We can’t help but love them, can we 💞
As an Aussie that song gives me chills every time I hear it
I don't know if you noticed in that song, the red flower in the hand of the man. It's a red poppy. It goes back to WW1 where our boys fought in Flanders in Europe. Where they died, the fields were covered in red poppys. So, on Anzac day those who march wear a red poppy on their the lapel of their jackets. Lest we forget. That is a phrase that is quoted a lot on Anzac day. Also, at our R.S.L.'s stop at 6pm every night they are open for a minute's silence the ode for our fallen is said.
My grandfather died in the 1st wold war. He was 28 years old. He died on Armistice Day of war wounds and is buried in France. I would have loved to have met him.They were lambs to the slaughter.
My great grandfather was an Anzac, my grandfather served in PNG in WW2, my uncle was KIA in Vietnam. My wife and I serve in the Royal Australian Navy, mysefle 27 years (Iraq, East Timor and other shitty operation, my wife East Timor). This is one of my most loved Australian respects songs. Thank you for taking the time to review it and your positive comments. Much respect...
You're so thoughtful & now I'm crying. I love your compassionate heart so much 😢💙😢💙😢
i am aussie and i am hoping NO AUSTRALIAN SHOULD EVER FORGOT WHAT THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN HAVE DONE
And what they continue to do, I am the granddaughter of a vet and the daughter and sister of soldiers. LEST WE FORGET 🇦🇺
True Aussie’s will never forget our heroes that kept us safe and continue to keep us safe
Hi Dreadheaded Oreo. Thanks for making this video. Our ANZACS are very important to us in Australia and New Zealand. Our soldiers (diggers) have a rather glorious history in spite of some bad things that have been done.
My Brother, thank you so much from the absolute bottom of my heart for doing a video and taking the time to see the "Spirit of The Anzacs" and understanding what Anzac day means to all Australians and New Zealanders. It was beautiful to see that someone who is not familiar with the Anzacs and importantly the Anzac Legend would take the time. Every time I see / hear the "Spirit of The Anzacs" I will always tear up thinking of all my relatives that have served our country proud and some that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. It means so much to see that generations on from the birth of the Anzac legend it is in the front of our mind everyday. Again thank you my Brother. With our armed forces and yours "being USA" it does not matter if you serve under the Southern Cross or pledge allegiance to the flag of USA, as friends (along with other allied nations) our countries have served side by side in every war for over 100 years and I am sure will for the next 100 years and beyond. May god bless and protect all troops and armed forces of all allied coalition nations.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
makes the ole eyes water and brings lump to the throat ..
2020 is the first year we could not have the parade due to COVID lockdown restrictions, but at 6am on that day (Anzac Day 2020) so many Australians stood at the end of their own driveway with a candlelight in remembrance of the Anzacs and listened to recordings of ‘The Ode’ and ‘The Last Post’.
It was a wonderful sight, to see so many of our neighbours also standing in their own driveways.
Our neighbour was 97 this year also stood proudly fully dressed and wearing his medals in his driveway at 5:45 am. He fought in overseas WW1 as did his sister and 5 brothers but sadly he passed 4 days ago.
A wonderful neighbour for many years RIP Allan and thankyou for your service.
Thankyou for your reaction
God I love Australia. Thanks ANZACs.
And new zealand my man
2020 was the first year that Australia did not commemorate ANZAC Day marches due to covid lock down. So to pay our respects people stood in their driveways at dawn with candles. Anyone who could play a bugle or trumpet played the Last Post (Taps). The sound could be heard all over the neighbourhoods. It was more moving that the drawn services or marches. We refused to allow the war on covid to defeat us. Lest we forget.
Thank you for being interested in our country. ANZAC day is very important to us because we are a small country but have very brave soldiers and we feel united by their bravery in the face of the big threats to such a small country. We are like Terrier dogs. 💓🇦🇺
Bloomin' Arty #SideBySide. #100YrsStrong
Thank you so much for your respect. Our ANZAC's mean so much to us and we are very proud of them. ANZAC Day is very important to all Aussies and New Zealanders. Cheers.
This is a sacred Anthem to Aussies.Guy Sebastians voice is beyond glorious,it makes me cry.
Im sitting here watching a Saturday afternoon game of local cricket, drinking a beer. We wouldnt have this life we live without their sacrifice. Always so thankful.
ANZAC Day to us is like your Memorial Day. It is the day we wake just before dawn to stop and reflect on those brave men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
We pronounce it Anzac - the word, not the initials💙
Also we say corps as core, we dont pronounce the p and s
He did say it right on the second go. Plus he would have heard them pronounce it, in the song. Your just stating the obvious now!
Anzac Day is both celebratory and commemorative Last post at Dawn.. celebrating and wishing “Happy ANZAC Day” as we meet. Lastly is...
LEST WE FORGET
80 to 100 year's from a convict ship and signing up for a world war! Lest we forget! Indigenous Australians out there after all we'd been through too! God bless our Anzac's!
Thankyou USA for helping souh vietnam and aussie new zealand canada
In WW1 all the Aussie and Kiwi soldiers were volunteers.During that time Aussies fought in the Sth Pacific because of the German presence and when the Aussies and Kiwis sailed away in 1914/15 ended up in Egypt for training.To make correspondence and dispatches easy,instead of the full name Australia and New Zealand Army Corps,the initials A.N.Z.A.C was thought up by an army clerk to save writing it in full.They were preparing to fight in Europe however the British wanted to stop the enemy from gaining oil fields and so a plan was devised for an invasion of The Dardanelles as a means of getting Allied forces to Constantinople.So the ANZAC force in Egypt was close at hand and formed part of the allied landings.They landed at the wrong spot and had steep well defended cliffs to overcome before getting inland.The Turks who were on the enemy side fought tooth and nail to defend their territory.The fighting from both sides became stuff of legend.1915 was a real coming of age for Aus and NZ with the Turks also gaining a National Hero and new identity.After the withdrawal of troops from there,The ANZACs went to fight the Germans in Belgium and France until 1918.The Australian Lighthorse regiments fought in Gallipoli and also against the Turkish held areas in the Middle East and Europe.The RAN(navy) fought worldwide.Their main fighting ships had only just arrived in Aus a year or 2 earlier.We had two submarines that had come from England and then when the war broke out,one was lost off New Guinea and remained lost until about 2 or 3 years ago.The other one went back over the Indian Ocean and fought in the Dardenelles,getting badly damaged and finally scuttled,it did it's job bravely.The Flying Corp which became The RAAF fought in Europe and the Middle East.The ANZAC forces IMHO shortened the war by at least a year.The Aussies (AIF) supplied 10% of the Allied Armies and captured 25% of all ground taken and prisoners.Yes the 25th of April is a very important day for us.And then their was WW2 North Africa against the Italians and Rommel's Afrika Corp,and the Japs in the Sth Pacific,Korea,Malaya,Vietnam,Iraq Afghanistan plus others conflicts we fought in. Fun fact...when the U.S turned up in 1917 some of their soldier were sent to Aussie battalions for experience before coming under full command of Pershing.Many US troops didn't like the idea and lots got a hold of Aussie uniforms so they could stay fighting with the Aussie battalions.Also in WW1 Japan was on the Allies side.As in WW1 NZ was beside us in heaps of battles and conflicts since.
I’m sorry to comment, but New Zealand introduced conscription in 1916. But well said!! 👍
Australia introduced conscription in 1911 but no conscripts were sent overseas until WW2.
You have such a beautiful soul!! Blessings to you.
ANZAC Day is set as the day that Australia and New Zealand along with the French And British on which we first saw battle as a Nation. This was 25th April 1915. My Great Grandfather fought there in the 4th Light Horse then fought in France.
The way you first said ANZAC as the initials was not offensive at all. What I’m thrilled at it that you honoured the ANZAC’s this way and I thank you very very much. You have done a splendid job.
This beautiful tribute was sung by Lee Kernaghan (2015 album of the same name); Guy Sebastian, Sheppard, Jon Stevens, Jessica Mauboy, Shannon Noll and Megan Washington. Just a few of our amazing Aussie singers.
The red flower that is shown throughout the video:- Red poppy is a symbol of both Remembrance and hope for a peaceful future. Poppies are worn as a show of support for the Armed Forces community. The poppy is a well-known and well-established symbol, one that carries a wealth of history and meaning with it. Also they grew in profusion on the Belgian and French battlegrounds.
Thank you for the respect you showed in reviewing this much loved Aussie Anthem.
It is so good that you even considered to understand about our life and the ANZAC Spirit that we have and hold dear. We have a great country and a great life because of our past and present diggers
Thank you.
We will never forget.
I am proud to be an ausie
I love that you took time to learn new things, even if you got some things wrong like names, spelling and so fourth, but you took the comments in stride and learned, learned, learned.
Hi I’m the wife of an Australian veteran who sadly past away my husband was what we call a conscript which means the government put dates on balls and tumbled them in a bin and if your birth date go pulled out you got call to serve your country. My husband was called to serve in Vietnam at the age of nineteen. He served his country with pride as did my grandfathers and uncles I pray that my son and my grandsons and granddaughters don’t have to serve but I pray that they and every other Australian understands what they have lost for us to be free war never leaves them they take they nightmare to their graves. They are never who they were meant to be they are never free but they would do it all again to give us the freedoms we enjoy.A dark cloud has fallen over the our world and once again we have evil people who think it’s their right to inflect their will over the people of this world.
Thank you for reacting to this. This is a favorite of mine and makes me think of my great grandfather who I never knew but was told was a soldier (digger)😢. Lest We Forget🇦🇺
As a multi-generation descendant of military servicemen, I NEVER applaud the soldiers, it’s more respectful to stand at attention, salute, hold that salute till they have all passed by. They don’t want applause as that indicates that the war was a proud time. It wasn’t, it was horrific, traumatic, the soldiers were shunned when they came home. A lot of our soldiers were under 18, they lied to be accepted into the military.
First saw ferrets on a property up at Tarraleah back in about 87. Real respect. (Haven't seen any since).
Thank you mate for acknowledging the Anzacs means a lot to us Australians👍🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲
At 4.51 is Teddy Sheean,posthumously awarded the VC for heroism last year. In 1942,he strapped himself to a gun to fire on Japanese planes as his ship went down. He was 18.
Wonderful reaction from you. You were so caught up in it and even a little emotional. Just so you know, the southern cross refers to a star pattern in the night's sky that only appears in the southern hemisphere. The song refers to WWI and WWII and all the wars, including Vietnam.
Thanx for your respectful reaction m8! Cheers from Australia!
This gives me chills. My pop was a digger, western front, my dad airforce, lifer.
LEST WE FORGET
We honour our young brave men and women that sacrificed their own lives to allow us to live in freedom.
Every year we gather at sunrise to say thank you, we also farewell those that made it through the wars, that came home with horrific injuries, never to be the same.
Yes, ANZAC Day in Australia is very important to us in Australia and New Zealand.
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
In a lot of countries on veteran's days people get together and celebrate the victories. In Australia we commemorate and remember the sacrifice of the fallen and the injured.
Every year, on ANZAC Day April 25th, Dawn Service is a very sombre occasion.
Well done young man its nice to see a different perspective from a young man in the US thank you
We are as is , because of their unavoidable fates.
thankyou for honoring my brothers we do it daily
This is really our National Day!! When the Last Post is played, I just ball my eyes out. I see the Lighthorse and I ball my eyes out knowing they never came home.
I served in the Royal Australian Airforce, My mum served in the RAAF, my dad served in the Army, and my grandfather served in the Army, Thank you :)
Beautiful. Brought a tear to this Aussie Veterans eye's. God bless and as us Aussies say, Lest We Forget
I cried the first dozen times i heard that song
Thank you for your respect to our fallen ANZACS
To all members of the armed services and medical staff who have for for our freedom across the world...
And for the families of the fallen
"Thank you for your sacrifice"
You do us a great honour friend by playing this. Thank you.
ANZAC day is to remember the thousands of men and women that lost their life throughout WW1 and 2. As a Australian this was a great way to remember them. LEST WE FORGET
I do not know you, but thank you my friend, from an Australian 😊
This song always cry to we have got to other songs that I cry to as well the band played waltzing matilda and I was only 19 you need to hear them to. For our Aussies hellos last we forget
Hi, a couple of really powerful Aussie songs are Redgums " I was only 19" that covered Vietnam and Eric Bogles version of The band played Waltzing Matilda about WW1. Both very powerful songs and part of the Anzac tradition that explain what it was like fighting both .
Thank you again man you're awesome 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for being so respectful and learning more about our amazing country..... it's honestly the best country on earth second best is New Zealand...you would love it here...☀️🙏☮️
As ex Australian Army I stand & salute this song in the way I do the flag. Lest We Forget our fallen. @ my local RSL the monument out front has an rounded edge. We all rub our hand across it before entering.
I cry every time I watch that I served for 18years and to put on that uniform I had a ledgine to live up to
It’s Anzac Day today for the aussies
ANZAC we shall never forget
I never understood when I was younger becuse its was such a depressing topic but now I'm older i realise the importance of never forgetting what happened last me make the same mistakes again
Thank you for showing the ANZAC song. This is a special time when Australians honour fallen comrades. The morning is a solemn time with an 0600 honour guard at the war memorials and local cenotaphs. Then old men March with their battalions and young men and women march in uniform. In the afternoon it’s time for a game of two up and lots of drinking and reminiscing.
Ordinary Seaman Edward "Terry" Sheean who is depicted at the end of the video was awarded the Victoria Cross posthumously in 2020. He is the first Royal Australian Navy member to be awarded the V.C.
As an Australian and an ex service man i thank you for your honesty and openness! welcome to a better understanding of life !
i hope this message finds you well god bless !
James ,Sydney, Australia RESPECT
You got it mate, read the word, ANZAC💛💚💛💚
Thank you. I am Australian and had never heard this. I think it must have been produced during the Covid lockdown, where we could not celebrate ANZAC day in our usual way two years in a row.
As a aussie, cheers for taking a interest :D The reason the ANZAC spirit is such a big deal is because it was really the birth of our nation, it was the first time we had action as a military, the first time young men (and later women) volunteered for action. It was where the Aussie ideals of mateship and laughter were born. Many of the traits most aussies have today, have come from the Anzac Spirit. It isn't actually our "vet's or remembrance day" that's 11/11, but April 25th has such importance it has its own day. Ask ANY aussie and they can tell you everything to do with Anzac day, it's our most sacred of day.
for such a small country we punch way above,God bless them all who sacrificed everything so we can live free.
During the Great War the ANZAC's being led by Generals Haig and Gough (both had a huge dislike for the unruly Aussies) were being sent into the hottest areas. At great losses to all allies, French Brit Aussies and Canadians etc. Generals Haig and Gough were sidelined and General Monash an Aussie took over the largest Army in history to date. He initiated an attack that was preplanned to the minutest detail. The estimated time was 90 minutes, it took 93 minutes with minimal casualties. This broke the deadlock in the trenches. Thousands of Germans were taken prisoner. Tanks were used for the first time successfully in Europe. When the United States entered the war the blueprint from General Monash was followed. Effectively Monash designed the new method of warfare for the next 100 years. Tanks artillery and aircraft in first with troops in support for the mopping up action.
Thanks mate, for making this video. This is the most profound day on the Australian calendar. Even though I am of Italian heritage I celebrate ANZAC Day every single year because it helped create the best country in the world for its citizens to enjoy bringing up a family in. All the best.
Mate, please don’t apologise, all forgiven, you weren’t to know about ANZAC Day. Thank you so much for posting this & your comments were heartfelt. We are very proud of the contribution our defence men, women & animals provide for our country. War is such an unnecessary evil. 🇦🇺❤️
Thanks for highlighting our hero’s and giving Lea a look in hers a country singer and on of the album covers for this album says live from deni Ute muster deni is a small country town a Ute is a utility vehicle you call them trucks and a must er is generally a round up of sheep or cattle but a Ute muster is a gathering of Ute driver s and owners where they admire each other vehicles and do a lot of circle work as in spinning donuts in a paddock or a arena in the area everyone camps out and if it over a weekend the the Saturday night is usually a band s ball that’s bachelors and spinsters ball usually held in some local shearing shed
Thanks for the nice heartfelt words mate. Maybe you may see a dawn sevice in a little outback town, or any town or city for that matter.
You really have a respectful ANZAC Day remembering those who died in wars rather than a happy one but thanks for your reaction both to ANZAC Day and the song itself.
Hi - late post from oz- nearly a year later and Anzac Day soon again! Hope ur well at this horrible time ! - ( no Anzac services this year due to risks! ) - Gallipoli ( ww1 ) with mel Gibson in movie when he was very young ( think mad max movies and lethal weapon movies ) and there’s a few documentaries on aussies in wars. A recent movie just last year I think . There’s so much importance on Aussie diggers/ soldiers - some of the best in the world not talked about or respected enough. They were so young and the nicest young men taken too soon for rich men’s money and power. Total destruction! Anyway - they fought so we could keep our freedoms and way of life!!! - Lest we forget.... Thankyou for caring! Cheers from oz. ✌️👍🇦🇺
only aware of these videos now, sorry for being slow on the uptake but its good to see other countries taking interest in australian history, even though the ANZACs fought in WW1 we were also in earlier wars, my family has history in wars back to the suikan war in the 1880s, we have allied in wars with USA since WW1 and my uncle was involved in the vietnam war, my dad was a bit young but he was offshore on a navy boat during the late stages,.. the ozzies made many friends with the yanks (terms used back then) during this time and helped each other through the shit they all went through, war is crap for everyone involved and the australians have been there for so many of them,.. thanks for taking the time to listen to aus war music (there is plenty more) and for learning more about us The dreadheaded oreo,.. can i suggest you listen to an australian song from 1983 that depicts the vietnam war for us, its called 'only 19' by 'redgum', it has alot of real war footage and the lyrics tell it how it was, check it out ruclips.net/video/mGDhzVi1bqU/видео.html
From Australia, you're a great bloke. Love ya bro
Hi. Someone has probably said this, but ANZAC DAY for Aussies is the equivalent of Memorial Day for you guys in the States .Some people say we shouldn't celebrate war, but it is not a day of celebration; it is a day of remembrance; a day of gratitude; a day where we can acknowledge the sacrifices made by so many, that allows us to have the life we have now.
oh my god , THANK YOU THANK YOU ,i commented on the other vlog i love Australia but i have NEVER seen this ,going to listen to what you think ,,i paused as you started talking
Top job mate. Great reaction.
I’m an Australian and I’m a new sub to your channel. ANZAC Day remembers fallen soldiers from all wars and conflicts up to and including Iraq. We have fought alongside British and American in every conflict
A lot of people do not realise the commitment of Australia to the ANZUS (Australia/New Zealand/United States) Treaty. Australia has fought alongside the US in every war the US has fought since the First World War with the single exception of Grenada. No other country can say that. Australian soldiers, navy and airforce are currently in Afghanistan, the Gulf, Syria, and Iraq. There are important joint Australian/US spy bases that are part of the Echelon Network that work toward all of our freedom.and when Japan surrendered in 1945 no only was Australia a signatory to the surrender document, 8 Australian warships were anchored in Tokyo Bay near the USS Missouri where the surrender took place, those Australian ships proud to have served alongside our allies in the fight for freedom. Like the US, we had our own Pearl Harbor moment when the Japanese bombed Darwin. We have a lot of shared history for a long time.
Dreadhead - you just made 20,000,000 mates. Thank you again
And the other few million were too busy crying to thank him
