Thanks Pete. I heard this song last, when I studied history and we spoke about the battle at Gallipoli. I never heard it again, so thanks for reminding me of this great song. And your rendition is really a very nice one.

[classican]

I used to hear it quite a lot in the pubs around here from various local folk groups but not for years though which is a pity. Thank you very much.

Thank you Bill.

[allshookup77]

Wow, that was fantastic Pete! You did a terrific job of singing and playing this powerful and poignant song. I was mesmerized by the lyrics and the "Waltzing Matilda" at the end gave me chills! This song told quite a sad story of the tragedies of war. Your performance of this song was perfect, you really brought these lyrics to life! Outstanding work Pete! ... FrAnK (★★★★★ & ~Fave~)

[classican]

Thank you Frank, I suppose it's the thing about folk songs that musically they tend to be quite simple but lyrically very powerful.

[Nez40z]

Pete this is great man awesome job.

[classican]

[Nez40z]

[classican]

Thank you very much my friend, have a good one.

[jayrbee60]

WOW!  What a pleasant surprise to see a new one! Pete, I think I have a new favorite song of yours! this is simply and wonderfully outstanding. By far the best version I have heard - save for perhaps Eric Bogle's. I guess I never really listened to the lyrics before, and I am thankful you posted them.

Cheers Friend - a toast to you!

[classican]

You are too kind John, thank you very much my friend. How are things over in your neck of the woods?

[jayrbee60]

OK, I guess. We had 14 inches of snow dumped on us yesterday and the winds and cold came today. So a glass of warm brandy (or four) will be on the agenda this evening! :-)

[classican]

I've heard the weather is bad in parts over there at the moment, we don't get much if any snow where I am. Plenty of rain though.
