A song for ANZAC Day. This is the version on my first CD, "Axis of Evil and Other True Stories". It is my favourite Eric Bogle song and, in my opinion, the best Australian song of all time. It is a tribute to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to fight in the First World War, and at the same time a passionate protest against the whole concept of war. This song has been sung by many artists, including June Tabor, Liam Clancy, Ronnie Drew, Joan Baez, The Pogues, John Williamson and Slim Dusty.
