Ben,

Thanks for this, this is a special song for Australians about the ill fated Gallipoli campaign in WWI. Eric Bogle is a fantastic poet / singer song writer, you may also know the No mans land (green fields of France) which evokes similar feelings. It was really a nice surprise to log in to the nation this morning to find this.

Best regards from Bribane, Australia.
