This song stays true. Appreciate what any veteran has done for any country, soon there will not be anyone to tell their tale. Go out and say thank you to a veteran, and that will make their day. Never forgotten.
What a beautifully written song, the end of this especilly always brings a tear to my eye. i wrote 2 n a half pages about this in my english a-level final exam as a citation wider reading for modern world war 1 writing.
God bless Bogle and The Dubliners. Gallipoli was the blunder of a young Winston Churchill. Curse him to hell! WW2 was also his doing! RIP all Europeans who perished in both these pointless wars.
I think thats a damn fine tribute to all who died in that bloody war. It says alot about war. In aus where I live, nobody has ever even heard this song. Should be a reminder to us that was is no great thing. Rip Ronnie xxx
listened to other versions of this song, but it is HIS voice that really carries the song from start to finish, an awesome voice and an awesome man!!!
@nextlifearotti well we've learnt that we aren't all speaking German and that we have the right to free speech but apart from those things not much really, oh apart from how horrific and useless war is.
Only found out Ronnie is no more ... and am well sad ... God bless you fella ... you bought laughter to my face ... and tears to my eyes with your voice ... Rest In Peace man
This has to be the definitive version of Eric Bogle's fine song.The Dubs were so successful because not only did Luke and Ronnie complement each other with their different styles and sang great together but they knew exactly who would be best to take the lead on any song be it ballad or bawd!
I hear the tickets have already sold out in heaven for the re-union of this great pair!RIP Ronnie.
This song has bought tears to my eyes ... on more than one occasion ... Ronnie seems to give it so much empathy ... if you shut your eyes while listening you are there with that trouper

Eric Bogle is doing a great job with his songs. When you hear them you know how useless war is.

War is futile and the only people to suffer are the innocent and soldiers sent to fight by spineless politicians.
Gallipoli was a terrible waste of life on all sides and achieved nothing just death
may all those who died R.i.P

this is a very good song because it doesn't mention England, taxes, lewd women, or getting drunk. Although I'm not sure why
