Performed this song tonight (ANZAC day). Many memories of the era. What a great song.

Lest we forget.

I've put up a uke arrangement of this wonderful song at scorpexdotnet/Uke. I'll be performing it soon with a mate. Never let the great Aussie tracks of the late 60s be forgotten!

This, for me, was the quintessential anti-Vietnam war song and conscription in Australia. For a kid it really hit home what was happening to the young men in uniform we saw on TV. Thanks, guys, for your service. "We will remember them..."

[susiefan1]

There was actually a 1964 movie about an australian kid called "Smiley." The tune was the same, but here the lyrics are different.

Great song released during Australia's role in the Vietnam war.

This is great - thanks. I don't suppose you have Age of Consent as well? It's a forgotten gem.
