I HAVE MADE A BETTER QUALITY (revised) OF THIS CLIP www.youtube.com A very sad, but beautiful, song. One of the best renditions that I know by the Three Irish Tenors. I put together the clips of the real thing: World War I, Gallipoli and Sulva Bay…

This should be shown to every young man with romatizised dreams of battle glory. What a sad waste of human life. Why would a nation send its’ sons to war so far away with no reasons directly affecting their shores.
Lovely melody, sung well, but I do not know if I agree with the sentiments.If he thought war was going to be fun he found out otherwise.what is gone is gone, be thankful that he lived and his side won. It may have been vastly different if the germans had won?
@18tangles the way Erdogan is shoving his weight around he wont be protected much longer. Justice will come to the turks as well as other sinners in the area! Have Faith
I think this rendering of waltzing matilda was absolutely beautiful ,shame about the words being not quite right ,but that was made up for the lovely strong voice (or voices ) which in my estimation was superb ,from a grateful POM.
@LordWellington15 , long live the commonwealth = bollocks , yes BOLLOCKS , if you could pull yourself a little further out from under your rock we are edging a little closer to ” Long live the PLANET ”
COMMON WEALTH , the wealth of the common people / the ordinary person in the street , any street , take your pick any street on the planet , any house , any family , any individual person . . . . ‘nuf said !
@zsazsabinksie ,Cannot understand why your comment has been marked up as spam probably some spam brain @ youtube who has never been out of his / her tube .
Very touching indeed ,my grandfather survived and made it home to Scotland from that and all the restof 1914 ~ 1918 . Have’nt seen your new posting yet but the lyrics on this could maybe be a size or two bigger . Thank you .
@ellienc the one good reason is If we do not fight against evil,nazism,japanese imperialism stalinism and sorry to say Islamic fanatics we would be slaves or dead.
@stayinpeaceful You are speaking rubbish,the genocide that you did to the Kurds,Armenians and Greeks in 1921 was about freedom? They posed no threat to you and Cyprus? the Greeks were there before the Turks but again you are protected by bloody America.
@MsSloppyseconds: good on you I have been having this argument on another site for yonks but some of these blokes are hard to convince. Go to vietnam war you tube some weird ones there.
@tom500k You would have lasted 1 sec if the germans or japs had won in WW2. You stupid jerk, of cause there were stupid mistakes and we suffered for it. But only if everyone were pacifists could your Utopia be a reality. Your O bama is better than the reagens,clintons and the bastard bushes. this song is about us Australians who were sent to turkey by that idiot Churchill and then landed in the wrong place. You americans should be grateful for what your services and allies did in 2 world wars
@tom500k Perhaps the time for dying for country hierarchy and corporate interest is unjust? I’ll not waste myself for that sort. Nor have my kin does the same. Allegedly they work for us. If so then let them fight for we are no longer available.
