Beautifully played and sung - so poignant and shattering. Thank you for sharing - it brings one to tears. It reminds me of "The Green Fields of France: Ah young Willie McBride, I can't help wonder why Do those that lie here know why did they die? And did they believe when they answered the cause Did they really believe that this war would end wars? Well the sorrow, the suffering, the glory, the pain The killing and dying, were all done in vain, For young Willie McBride, it all happened again, And again, and again, and again, and again."

Excellent cover. Remembrance day is branded as 'Lest We Forget', but I've come to the conclusion that this 'commemoration with it's ceremony and March once a year is more like 'Lest We Remember', because if you knew what was the outcome before you were sent, would you go to War at the command of some ego-maniac who will probably never see Frontline Action and risk their own lives.
@@Prfdt3 Who 'suffered' the humiliation of a calamitous war. He 'retired' from public life to live quietly at Blenheim Palace with his £millions, while the ordinary working men who were sent on Churchill's campaign were the ones who really suffered, as usual, being either killed, seriously injured traumatised or sent insane. Churchill was not the great man of fiction, he was a racist, biggot, elitist and self-entitled eugenisist. When will we learn?
@@Prfdt3but it was others who identified and put our blokes ashore at the wrong landing area. Not saying it wasn't a debacle, just not entirely Churchill's fault
First time I have heard that in ;Blighty' mates & it is strongly touching. Have paid my respects at the Memorial in Perth not too long ago. War is a human curse but good on yer lads, we don't forget. If you are ever in need.

I swam the Australian Crawl at 6 months old and called it the Frog stroke and had a Kermit bathing suit as a toddler and went off the high dive at 4 years old.
I'm from a military and police family from my father side, i'm the first male to refuse to serve in either, no one asked me why, but if they do, i'm sending them this song
My family has ties to Australia and founded the USA. I used to swim Australian Crawl and the Great Barrier Reef did not used to be bleached from carbonic acid in the ocean from global warming and ozone layer depletion.
Hi Marie, thanks for writing. Australia lost over 60,000 in WW1 with over 156,000 wounded or taken prisoner. And at Gallipoli in April-August 1915 we lost 8,141 and over 18,00O casualties. In WW2 we lost over 27,000 with over 23,000 wounded or taken prisoner. Lest we forget.
@mariesinnecker4450 Marie, to put those numbers in perspective, the total population of Australia was only 5.3 million in 1918 and just 7 million in 1945.
The Anzacs made their mark in France where the liberated a town from the germans in WW I. The towns main street to this day is Avenue Melbourne, and maybe if ytou visit you can get a free drink (if you are an Anzac, or just australian). just as the canadians will get it in Holland from their liberation in WW II.
Once you put that uniform on its called Serving your country Only the ones that. Served. Will understand those with no military fail. To see. If Soldiers refused to serve. Home and country the Question is often asked, why did you leave home for people You dont know. On listening to other soldiers who have the Same question asked All that does is taking Them back to. Their own personal hell. It serves no purpose to them and their mates Left behind on some Far away battle field It is a pleasure to know that. Myself and Others. Found inner Peace. That you will not find out of doing Your bit for your country Personal. Hell
Winston Churchill displayed his 1st episode of total deficiency at Tactics at Gallipoli, a Preface to Sicilian/Italian Campaign then Market Garden 30-odd years later. Great PM, but just about as worthless as Monty, their combined tactics cost so many soldiers and civilians alike, their lives.

So brilliant. Not a dry eye. Every generation should watch, listen. And weep as one.
If anybody needs convincing about the madness of warfare: listen to this 😢
Still valid today. This version is the best of all versions! It's got life! Wow! Give you goosebumps....Thanks for sharing!
Stunning. Gave me goosebumps. From. Ex Rhodesian
At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.
One of the best and saddest song against the war I have ever heard... Thanks
😢it makes me cry thinking of my grandfather and two uncles gone but not forgotten 😢😢
Très bonne interprétation et très bon choix des images Bravo et merci.
I have saluted the beaches at Gallipoli from several warships transiting the Bosporus. God bless the lads. 🇦🇺

Nice rendition of a great song. Thanks.
Devastating. And nothing, absolutely nothing, has changed for the better. Lest we forget? We forgot almost at once.
...and the Jordan River still has bodies floating! (Eve Of Destruction, Barry McGuire 1966, if I recall correctly.)
thank you.
Beautiful song about the senselessness of war. And If only it could enter the brains of those who create and start wars...

I'm from Kansas, USA. A few years ago, I went on a cruise that passed that area. What a horrible place and experience.
Wow (Eric Bogel) this hitted' my soul like I was back 100 years ago. Wot a tekst. I love this one.

It was a terrible death for many Australians. Made Australia a mature country
Australia has yet to grow up.

Gallipoli was the brainchild of the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill . He resigned soon after this disastrous campaign..
VERY POWERFUL SONG IF, YOU PAY ATTENTION!
Heartbreaking.
I cry now ..With u lot.
