[defiant18]

8000 never came back...) : im crying.

[moorebank]

I am a WWII diggers daughter and every time I even say the ode I cry as my father is no longer with us. I have no regrets in getting up at 3.00am to support my father on ANZAC mornings and all the fallen and I have a full appreciation on what they gave up for me and my family

[laura231471]

agreed my grandfathers and great grandfathers fought in both wars and are no longer on this earth with us so rest in peace you brave brave men and thank you so very much for the sacrifices you made so that i could live happy and free love you boys

never ever ever forget get up and stand proud

[gazdeb80]

The going down of the sun and in the morning we shall remember them.

"LEST WE FORGET"

THXS cobbers for all the hard work you blokes did for us.

[wille088]

[JuzG85]

Thanks Cobbers for the freedom we have today, your sacrifice will never be forgotten

[z250B]

I put my medals in the draw, ANZAC Day is just getting drunk, waste of a day. I rember who I served with everyday.

[Tntthunder3]

Everytime I hear this and flower on the water It makes me cry because I think of my grandfathers I've been a fan of John for 30 odd years I'm from the country on a cattle farm and this basically all we listened 2 everytime I hear John play I feel proud to be Aussie Lest We Forget and cheers again

[GeoRyukaiser]

Is it shameful that I'm balling my eyes out?

[MrVilniusNastavnik]

@GeoRyukaiser no mate it is not, hell when I listen to this, "I was only 19 - Redgum", "Kokoda - Slim Dusty (R.I.P old friend)" and "band played waltzing Matilda - John williamson/Eric Bogle/etc etc" Brings a tear to me eye as well mate to be honest.. it would be shameful not to mate

[laura231471]

@GeoRyukaiser no it is not shamefull dont let anyone tell you other wise mate i get the same way when i rember the brave and fallen

[halobomb185]

To my brother in arms Thank You from the yank

[niznet111]

Lest we forget!

[srly09]

I swear i saw a video of him singing this live with only a guitar. I WISH I COULD REMEMBER!!!!!!!!!

[joeydrocklikeab]

If we all took a page from Johnny's Book add a little technology and we would have a perfect Australia. I remember being 15 and loving American Gansta Rap and was embarrassed by my parents music.......Now I get it.... John makes me feel proud and thankful to be Australian. I love it!!! We truely are the best and luckiest country in the world

[damo7297]

[johntoymaker]

I thought I was the only one who liked this song.

It's a hard one to find and well worthy of being a classic.

Thanks heaps for bringing it back to life.

[06snow07bunny]

Love this song, grew up in Port Lincoln, my family were sitting on the cliffs watching them film Gallipoli with Mel Gibson, know a couple people who were extras in the movie too :-)

[DarkDemonAsmodius]

[Grug09]

Anyone who appreciates the freedom of the people in Australia should respect this song as one of the greatest tributes to the men and woman of the Anzac that helped give the world the the freedoms we take for granted now. Lest we forget.

[manicthrasher]

"It could've been me..." Chilling.

[drumaniac911]

This should be the new Australian anthem!

[Beccie1011]

@drumaniac911 omg it so should be (not that i dont like Australian fair but this is more Aussie )

[Jackkass2312]

[TheKenny76]

[dromeda13]

[MrDeVi8]

Love this SONG!!

[andamac4]

This is one of my favourite songs and I really love the video you have created for it. Good one mate! xxx

[Beccie1011]

This sounds like 100 times better live john williamson came to toowoomba for our show and he sang alot of his g8 song but then again they are all . its so cool tht he was inspired by actors tht were playing some aussie anzac diggers and at the end of the movie they didnt want to give there unforms bak he is such an awsome Ausiie singer :)

[Davobeff]

the first world war diggers are all gone now and soon the it will be the same for the ww2 boys. but they won't be forgoten

[DocMerlin]

It's a great song of course, I can still remember seeing JW many times when I was a young fella and still remember him playing this.

This is the ONLY video on Youtube for this song. Last year there was another attempt at making a vid, but the bloke only looped old archive footage from ANZAC Cove. It was a poor attempt and didn't do the vid justice.

This montage is pretty good! Even if you did include a few pics of present servicemen.

[Au55ieBloke787]

go da aussie's and go johnny williamson anyone who disrespects the aussie world well go fuck yaself to whereever u come from

[Aussiebattler125]

gawd i love this song, you rock johnny williamson, thanks for putting the song on mate :D

[kyari666]

Wow, I never actually expected to find this song on the tube! I mean, it's one of the most awesome songs ever, but you can barely find ANY John Williamson! You just made me so happy, thank you so much for posting this.

Your poetry is really good as well, well done. You do them all perfect justice.

[judgedreadbig6]

Thank you for your appreciation of my poetry....i will try and find more music to post.

[superkiddojay]

there has only been 202 views!!!!!! what the heck? this is a good song i have liked it for about 4 years now

[judgedreadbig6]

Nice comment mate...i have liked it since i first heard it some 9 years ago when i rea my poetry to 3 million listeners on BBC Radio WM in England.

[theliberator1]

@superkiddojay only liked it for 4 (5) years? I've heard this song since i was a toddler. 20 years it's been one of my favourites.

then again i've loved almost all john's work.

[silverthearab]

@superkiddojay There are heaps more views since last year ahaha I drive mum crazy cause I play it over and over again ...
