I also give you Eric Bogle singing “The Band Played Waltzing Matilda“
which is all about what were the horrors of World War I.
In November 2014, ahead of ‘Poppy Day‘
I introduced you to Eric Bogle singing
the HAUNTING and very beautiful
“The Green Fields of France“
— which was also about WW I.
I love that song “Waltzing Matilda” We used to sing that in school.
Janelle, this is a TAKE on “Waltzing Matilda” (the de facto Aussie National Anthem). The Eric Bogle song is about how bands played that song as ‘boys’ marched out, in 1914, to die in WW I — in this case in Turkey. Haunting song.
Hmmm, ok
