I thought the song was about the bravery of the Anzacs and the stupidity of war. I do know that Irish ships left to help and may Irish men fought at Gallipoli.
I also know from books that Turkish Soldiers where crying at the slaughter
It was such a slaughter because the Turks had the high ground and could easily pick of the Soldiers trying to advance. The monument (built buy the Turks) at what is now called Anzacs cove.
If you have nothing nice to say in their memory just say Thank you!
@SugerRaySaunderz Look below, that was me hunterreptilerooms. I feel the same sadness as the indigenous. And to have people comment on things they know nothing about, is a bigger hit, & makes me more against those that claim this song, just because one of them sang it.. Come here live our life in the bush, rather than pretend.Or abuse nothing you have no knowledge about. And war is definately a thing that is not worth glorifying.. Cheers Mik.
Sorry I cannot reply as two comments on an android ph. is the limit. Yes true, But they stole the country back then, theintroduced feral animals that have wiped out our natives, I am constantly killing rabbits,dogs,cats and fox, where natives should thrive. The canetoad was another absolutley thickheaded idea that has killed millions of our natives. I cannot blame the UK as hopefully your generation is wise enough to learn by its lesson. But when I hang with my Aboriginal bros, I can see sadness
For all you guys out there that dont know. Its Australia Day today. Or as I & the indigenous like to call it invasion day. This is when the Brits came and claimed our country as Terra Nullius. Bullshit! The black fella was here & the Brits slaughtered them like flies. I choose to celebrate and am heading to a bbq in 2 seonds. But our car will not fly the union jack. It flys the aboriginal flag with pride.
@HunterReptileRooms fair enough, but dont hate for what happend a long time ago, as every single brit today does not have the power to change the past
@Knightstruth. If you speak the truth. It makes sense, i understand fully. Why couldnt someone just say that to me in 1STplace when i asked? The abuse and swearing at me, especially im aussie and this song belongs to us just wasnt necessary. Guess its the internet, and everyone thinks their a hero. Or lack of politeness dosnt exist online anymore..you do realise SOPA. Will stop all this soon when they win.
@scozc1 your potty mouth shows your intelligence. The smart need not swear. Could make you look like an imbecile but cant be bothered. I know the song. Its Aussie not a paddywhack song. Maybe us Aussies will steal your leprechauns and say they were our inventions and live in our bush. Oh smart one. Tell me why you paddywhacks claim a stupid war and its song as your own? Where does it clearly say in the song.And the irish came off the boats with their helmets on backwards and theirguns backwards?
@Komoriuta89 thanks for that. Anyone who has so many kiwis living in their country can easily get this accent by song mixed up. But i got nothing but shit put on me. (Weird eh?) They say the Irish have a sense of humour. Havent seen a sense of humour here even though i asked a serious q. Still dosnt explain why they have taken one of Aus & NZ's songs and turned it into their own?
@bandalhold what you wrote below is definetely true . During 14.century Sultan Orhan occupied gallipoli and it was first rumelia land for ottomans . you got good history knowladge , are u a greek historian ?

@yenadlatruite and @largehedgehog.Last thing, as your rambling makes no sense, I am always happy to learn, but what have you guys done to make the world a better place? (that does not count going to a war like sheep)? And what has this singer who is so much better than I, done to increase a better world?Sorry but if i'm right i am talking to some micks who believe in leprechauns and pots of gold, That believe in 4 leaf clovers,Yeah? Guessing there won't be an intelligent answer from u anyways ;)
@yenadlatuite. Not having a go at the singer. Just saying he sounded kiwi. This is an Aussie song. But anyone with half a brain should not glorify war. Especially war that wasn't necessary. I'll let you be now in your old folks home, memorising the good old days of man kiling man for no reason. I'll get back to trying to change the world for better :)
@largehedgehog. I am aiming for another half million. On my deathbed the indiginous get the lot as a present for me. Maybe check my channel out befote sprouting shit. The murrays are my friends i hunt with. Not some thickhead pom or irishman who brings rabbits, canetoads and foxes here for sport...
@largehedgehog. I bought over 2 and a half million acres of land. Take care if the ferals on it with my dogs & have a contract stating that all my/ their land is returned never to be sold, leased, rented or mined. Yup check your facts before you namecall BOY
Singer sounds like a kiwi to me. Yeah i know the ANZACS but, to have a Kiwi singing this song is kinda like a white man doing the Haka.. As for the war. Sorry, how can anyone justify the killing of our soldiers sent as allies for meat fodder for a country at the time whos whole history was about fighting, torture and land grabbing. Australia was and will never be TERRA NULLIUS for the brittish or any other country.May the Brittish be fodder for ww3 which is probably gonna happen sooner thanlater
@largehedgehog As for stealing their souls, you gotta be kidding right? The Poms,Irish,Scots & Welsch did that over 200yrs ago. The Murrays (indigenous) were shot on site, mass murdered by you if this is your heritage.Women & Children killed ,raped or stolen to be good little Christians. What do you do, apart from put up BULLSHIT music celebrating this. I don't even know what exactly how many Murray Mates I have.
@largehedgehog We hunt fish & kill all feral cat,pig,dog,canetoad,fox,camel and rabbit we find on my temporary land. We also bring nothing in, and take nothing out. Again BIG MAN tell me what you have or your ancestors have done? I told you my story..Your turn..
No one knows what happened in this war.Only you can project.Many heroes fought in this war.Do not disrespect them.Whatever the country, with love from Turkey.
@luketylor Me too. i'm very proud of my late dad for fighting in Europe in WWII, but then the Allies won that war and eliminating Nazism was the right thing to do.
Too many wars seem to consist of killing people, combatants and non, to make money -- for munition makers, merchants, those who have empires, those who take resources and leave the people little or nothing in return. To benefit the governments who need a war to unite or distract their people, or to get rid of the energy of young men.
We just had Remembrance Day here in Canada yesterday, and this song was quoted by a writer friend on his Facebook page. I looked it up and found this wonderful video of a song I have known for years from being a Pogues fan from long ago. You've done a fantastic job of illustrating the song, which I think is tender, brilliant, and a perfect medidation for Remembrance Day. Thanks so much.
To all the men and women in the forces all over the world i take my hat of to you all and put my hand on my heart ' and say keep your heads down and be safe were ever you are in this world. p.s long live peace and trust in god.
My husband is from Eastern France( Alsace-Moselle), a territory which had belonged to Germany from 1871 to 1918. One of his grand fathers was sent by the German authorities to Gallipolli to fight alongside the ANZAC force. as my own grandfather fought at Verdun in the French army... I love this song which French equivalent, "la chanson de Craonne," give the same message. Those people, before being English, French, German, Aussies... were all victims of this slaughter !
I meant known not know. And I don't know why I'm saying it, because one wrong letter surely can't make people slag you off????? Anyway (COMMA) apologies xxxx
we've got a lot of streets named for this war in our town, and even when I was a kid (40 odd now) other kids didn't know what all the names meant. Scutari Row, for example. I wanted to know. But it's know for certain battles, instead of for the huge and bloody campaign it was on all sides. There should be more education about different campaigns that countries were involved in, however wrong or badly judged or badly planned. It's history. Bite it.
I take my hat of to the poor bastards that died on both sides brave men on all sides . i have mates from then and now brave men and women who have given there lives for what they belief in. for me it is time we stand up as one and say no more war and live as one in a brave new world.
I sometimes wonder, if in this day and age, men could still be led " like lambs to the slaughter" as in 1915. The powers of Government propaganda is sill so evocative. Too many people are not prepared to ask questions. "Blind faith in your leaders will get you killed
This song was written by Eric Bogle an Australian Scotsman. He sang this song originally. Eric was not aware that his song had become the anthem of the anti-war movement, & had become a hit overseas, but not in Australia until it's success abroad. It became a hit in Australia after that. I like Eric's version better, although the Pogues is good. War is hell. The British Generals & officers have a great deal to answer for. Shocking leadership, shocking attitude to the soldiers of the colonies.
the awful thing is - when i was a child, the legless and the armless were viewed as something funny and peculiar - worthless people - the teachers and our parents didnt want to get reminded with two lost wars - so we let them rotten down in hell for the horrors they have sent to our misfortunate forefathers
@baldandold Dont forget the turks, 86,692 casualties.. Enemies, but human like all of us, fighting for what the thought it was right, like the Allies did ;)
"War, a massacre between people who dont know each other, for the profit of people who know each other, but dont massacre each other" --> Valèry
After the devastating 1354 earthquake, the Greek city of Gallipoli was almost abandoned, but swiftly reoccupied by Turks from Anatolia, the Asiatic side of the straits, making Gallipoli the first Ottoman position in Europe, and the staging area for their expansion across the Balkans.
Personaly speaking, this is the only version that shakes my inside. War and death does not discriminate weather you are an Australian or not, for him we are all the same. Love your country as a patriot, act like a patriot when you are an immigrant. Dont do to an other country things you would not do in your own.
Big respect to the "Anzacs" chaps , but dont forget it was the Lancashire fusiliers first on the beach and the first to get hit , we got massacred before we got out of the water. we will always remember the heroic deeds of the Australian and New Zealanders troops and in England they will never be forgot - please spare a thought for our guys 2....
As long as their memory is not forgotten they will continue to march in entinirty. They will never be forgotten as I known Aussies that had ancestors on those beaches of Gallipoli and every 25 April they shed a tear for their ancestor as I did seen such an event from a brother in uniform.
Tears in my eyes. That's the bloody truth of all the wars that were ever fought. Kids gettings sent off to be killed and maimed all for patriotism and nationalism and flags and feelings of self-rightousness. If people just took time to think things through to their logical end, there would be alot more understanding and peace.
For a genre too often unfairly associated with screaming, fist-pumping, and wailing feedback and distortion, I think perhaps the best legacy that could be said of the Pogues is that they showed that you didn't need amps to make a lot of noise.
@bowerystreet Written by a naturalised Scottish Australian, Sang by a naturalised Scottish Australian and COVERED by an Irish group "The Pogues" And, he is singing about Australian servicemen.
Eric Bogle chose Australia as his country, He chose to be naturalised Australian, so therefore he is an Australian. His version is more sincere than the others.
I feel little brit - anzac friction here. Let me mention that regardless of casualty lists ( what is this a score card? ) the contribution of the ANZAC corps has been has been invaluable to every war the British Army has ever fought in, & I for one, appreciate & respect them all , ( not forgetting the others ).. Gallipoli is always & will always be in your countrys psyche Justifiably so, God bless Australia
One thing that always amazes me is how no matter how old the survivors of wars like this get, in a place inside they never age. I've met more than one vet who can't remember his wife's name but can rattle out his serial number without hesitation. I've seen an old man, barely able to walk with a walker step into a Lancaster bomber and walk to the tail position and climb in without assistance like he would going over France or Germany. They might have left the war, but the war has never left them.
Don'e vent too much spleen over roberts 1966. I wouldn't even give him the steam from my shit, even in the middle of winter. His knowledge of history & the colonies is obviously very, very limited. England always sent the troops from the colonies to do battle on their behalf. Better to have the colonials die than Englishmen. Study your history roberts 1966. You will see that English officer incompetency led to the slaughter of 1000s of men needlessly; English & colonials, but mainly colonials.
Like lambs to the slaughter. British officers landed the Aussies on the wrong beach and left them there. These ANZACZ fought with incredibly bravery. The conditions were absolutely atrocious. These men shook hands with each other saying their farewells before they went over the top to certain death while the British officer's "took tea" on another beach, and criticised the lack of progress of the ANZACS.
@MrFrontlinefred Sorry to critisise your comment as I agree completely about the idiocy of the British Officers, but im British and my Great Great Uncle died at Gallipoli fight alongside the Aussies, and it sounds like your saying all the British where cowards allowing just the Anzac soldiers to fight and die (even though your not), so I would just like to add that only the Officers where cowards, who did not understand the concept of war and how it could effect many people
@bairns1234 Gallipoli should never have happened the way it did. Churchill, Kitchener & their Generals made stupid & ridiculous decisions offering good men to the slaughter because they couldn't admit to their mistakes. They landed the ANZACS on the wrong beach,but left them there for ten weeks to be slaughtered. They condemmed the Australians for their lack of courage & discipline for not advancing and taking the ridge. Nobody is saying other nationalities copped it easy. Bollocks & up yours.
from an article about Churchill's letter to clementine when he went to the western front
"Churchill, 40 and a father of three at the time, had enjoyed a spectacular political career, serving as Home Secretary and First Admiralty Lord.
But he had been forced to resign from the government after he was blamed for the disastrous Gallipoli campaign - and chose active service as a Lieutenant Colonel commanding the 6th Battalion Royal Scots Fusiliers"
@MrFrontlinefred im not gonna diss the things the anzacs did in that terrible place but if you know your history the army that took the most casualties was the british with the french second !! i know the anzacs took a terrible loss but didnt they all ? they were all LIONS LED BY DONKEYS !! and i respect them all !! and i thank the anzacs for always answering the cause when they didnt have too !! when the mother country called they came !! RESPECT !! GOD BLESS YOU !!
@MrFrontlinefred , you make the British sound bad, remember that almost 1 milion British soldiers gave their lives in WW1, and many Australians back then were Brits that had recently moved to Australia. Also, a huge amount of British officers were killed in WW1, a disproportionate amount. Not to take away from the ANZACS, one of my relatives was one and was killed, just pointing out that not all the british officers were like you said, many were extreamely brave.
@MrForrest1991 Incorrect! Not too many Brits (as Aussie soldiers) back then. Check your facts. I also admit that some British officers/soldiers were superb. What I am saying is, Kitchener & Churchill & generals critisised the lack of valour & discipline of Australian serviceman at Gallipoli. They landed the ANZAC'S on the wrong beach & left them there telling them to fight their way out of it. Churchill & Kitchener never acknowledged their mistake nor apologised. 10 weeks of blatant slaughter.
May God bless Mr. Choules. And all like him. When a Warrior passes over, the Gates of Valhalla swing wide open. And a place of Honor is awating him at the table of his people.
I apologize for a mistake in the previous post: I meant "29,000 wounded" instead of "29,000 blessed". Indeed "blessé" is the French word for "wounded" and I mixed up two foreign languages
as for impact of war losses for little nations during WWI, nobody outside Sardinia remembers that Sardinia lost between 1915 and 1918 lost almost 12,000 young men out a population of 600.000 inhabitants. Among them two uncles that I never knew, one of them 18 y.o. More, the blessed where29,000, among them my father. With all my respect, I can say thet maybe those proportions are more severe than Australia's ones

this place is a bit of a time warp, static displays, the way it once was. The dummies used to be motor driven but after the 1970s they were deactivated. Seems someone has been 'painting England green' the way the Irish claim, every engine, every welder, every figurehead is daubed green no matter what color it was at first. But the interesting thing here is the big budget given this place, a bit like Red Bay in Canada! :)
IMO its an antiwar song - the way we australians carry on about Gallipoli is humiliating. disgust was the real legacy of the anzacs. the anzac tradition only started after world war 2 - why? - go figure. the diggers would've spat on anyone who march as they do these days.
It interests me that many Australians don't realise that the bulk of the allied killed in the Gallipoli campaign were French and British 10,000 and 21,000 respectively as opposed to 8,100 Australians. Not intending to understate the sacrifices and bravery of the ANZACS in any way, just want to get a fact straight. The Brits are not even mentioned in the written intro to this song: "In memoriam of thoses, anzacs, turks, frenchs who lost their lives in Gallipoli".
@johnmb1961 This is a song for Australia not the UK or France but Australia. If you want a song go ahead and make one but this song is for Australia and Australia only.
@johnmb1961 I would never discount the importance of sacrifice of any nationality but I ask you to think about what this song is about. Australia was a young country with a population of about 4 million who lost 8,100 young men. It was a massive shock to the whole community, because it was a small community compared to britain who had a population of 46 million.
So yes, figuratively speaking, britain and france had a higher loss of lives, but Australia was impacted severely as a small nation.
@johnmb1961 really? i haven't extensively looked in to it but that wouldn't surprise me, Australias population was low and the loss of life comparatively was enormous.
Bir ana olarak bana, bir güzelim teselli bahşetti. Yavrularımızın sonsuz uykularında, huzur içinde dinlendiklerinden hiç kuşkumuz kalmadı. Majesteleri kabul buyururlarsa bizler de kendilerine Ata demek istiyoruz. Çünkü, yavrularımızın mezarları başında söylediğiniz sözler, ancak bir öz babanın sözleri gibi yüce, ilahi. Evlatlarımızı bir baba gibi kucaklayan büyük Ata’ya tüm analar adına şükran, sevgi, saygıyla...” REGARDS..
burada, dost bir vatanın toprağındasınız. Huzur ve sükun içinde uyuyunuz. Sizler, Mehmetçiklerle yanyana koyun koyunasınız. Uzak diyarlardan evlatlarını harbe gönderen analar! Gözyaşlarınızı dindiriniz. Evlatlarınız bizim bağrımızdadır. Huzur içindedirler ve rahat uyuyacaklardır. Onlar bu topraklarda canlarını verdikten sonra, artık bizim evlatlarımız olmuşlardır.”
Mustafa Kemal dünyada hiç bir liderin yapmadığı bir biçimde ülkesini işgale gelen düşman askerleri için aşağıdaki sözleri söylemiş onları kendi evladı gibi görmüştür.
I don't know any other song that evokes such conflicting emotions. On the one hand is the intense pride and respect I feel for the ANZACs which they so rightly deserve; on the other is disgust. Disgust that so many young men never came back from the shores of Gallipoli and other such places because the powers that be decided senseless bloodshed was the way to go. Lest we forget the ANZACs and all the other gallant young men who die fighting old men's wars.
Just got back from the France and Belgium CWGC cemeteries and called at the Little Tommy cafe and museum with this playing in the background, not a dry eye in sight with me and the lads.
Great rendition of one of the most brutally honest songs ever. Wish we had something like this in the States-but no one has the balls to risk being on the no-fly list for the rest of their lives.
It's really, really important for everyone to understand that anti-war songs do not in any way disparage veterans or their sacrifices. That's a despicable, vile, evil lie spewed by belligerent, evil, right wing sociopaths and right wing human fucking filth
I would love to hear this played on the TV as part of the Remembrance Sunday programmes, just as the war poets are featured. So very moving.

To benefit the governments who need a war to unite or distract their people, or to get rid of the energy of young men.

We just had Remembrance Day here in Canada yesterday, and this song was quoted by a writer friend on his Facebook page. I looked it up and found this wonderful video of a song I have known for years from being a Pogues fan from long ago. You've done a fantastic job of illustrating the song, which I think is tender, brilliant, and a perfect medidation for Remembrance Day. Thanks so much.

My husband is from Eastern France( Alsace-Moselle), a territory which had belonged to Germany from 1871 to 1918. One of his grand fathers was sent by the German authorities to Gallipolli to fight alongside the ANZAC force. as my own grandfather fought at Verdun in the French army... I love this song which French equivalent, "la chanson de Craonne," give the same message. Those people, before being English, French, German, Aussies... were all victims of this slaughter !

we've got a lot of streets named for this war in our town, and even when I was a kid (40 odd now) other kids didn't know what all the names meant. Scutari Row, for example. I wanted to know. But it's know for certain battles, instead of for the huge and bloody campaign it was on all sides. There should be more education about different campaigns that countries were involved in, however wrong or badly judged or badly planned. It's history. Bite it.

This song was written by Eric Bogle an Australian Scotsman. He sang this song originally. Eric was not aware that his song had become the anthem of the anti-war movement, & had become a hit overseas, but not in Australia until it's success abroad. It became a hit in Australia after that. I like Eric's version better, although the Pogues is good. War is hell. The British Generals & officers have a great deal to answer for. Shocking leadership, shocking attitude to the soldiers of the colonies.

Except Galopolli HAD been Greek.....
After the devastating 1354 earthquake, the Greek city of Gallipoli was almost abandoned, but swiftly reoccupied by Turks from Anatolia, the Asiatic side of the straits, making Gallipoli the first Ottoman position in Europe, and the staging area for their expansion across the Balkans.

For a genre too often unfairly associated with screaming, fist-pumping, and wailing feedback and distortion, I think perhaps the best legacy that could be said of the Pogues is that they showed that you didn't need amps to make a lot of noise.

England always sent the troops from the colonies to do battle on their behalf. Better to have the colonials die than Englishmen. Study your history roberts 1966. You will see that English officer incompetency led to the slaughter of 1000s of men needlessly; English & colonials, but mainly colonials.

Like lambs to the slaughter. British officers landed the Aussies on the wrong beach and left them there. These ANZACZ fought with incredibly bravery. The conditions were absolutely atrocious. These men shook hands with each other saying their farewells before they went over the top to certain death while the British officer's "took tea" on another beach, and criticised the lack of progress of the ANZACS.

@MrFrontlinefred , you make the British sound bad, remember that almost 1 milion British soldiers gave their lives in WW1, and many Australians back then were Brits that had recently moved to Australia. Also, a huge amount of British officers were killed in WW1, a disproportionate amount. Not to take away from the ANZACS, one of my relatives was one and was killed, just pointing out that not all the british officers were like you said, many were extreamely brave.

@MrForrest1991 Incorrect! Not too many Brits (as Aussie soldiers) back then. Check your facts. I also admit that some British officers/soldiers were superb. What I am saying is, Kitchener & Churchill & generals critisised the lack of valour & discipline of Australian serviceman at Gallipoli. They landed the ANZAC'S on the wrong beach & left them there telling them to fight their way out of it. Churchill & Kitchener never acknowledged their mistake nor apologised. 10 weeks of blatant slaughter.

It interests me that many Australians don't realise that the bulk of the allied killed in the Gallipoli campaign were French and British 10,000 and 21,000 respectively as opposed to 8,100 Australians. Not intending to understate the sacrifices and bravery of the ANZACS in any way, just want to get a fact straight. The Brits are not even mentioned in the written intro to this song: "In memoriam of thoses, anzacs, turks, frenchs who lost their lives in Gallipoli".

@johnmb1961 I would never discount the importance of sacrifice of any nationality but I ask you to think about what this song is about. Australia was a young country with a population of about 4 million who lost 8,100 young men. It was a massive shock to the whole community, because it was a small community compared to britain who had a population of 46 million.
So yes, figuratively speaking, britain and france had a higher loss of lives, but Australia was impacted severely as a small nation.
