It's been years since I've heard this moving song. And I find it even more moving now in light of the past ten years of useless bloodshed.
To hell with war, and to hell with all warmongers!

This is the best version of Waltzing Matilda ever sung and describes the inhumanity of man down to a T. Brilliantly sung Shane mo chara.

The battle scenes appear to be from the 1981 movie Gallipoli starring the young Mel Gibson.

Tx to Daniel McAdams @LRCBlog, who pointed me to this video, my Armistice Day is ending with a bit of truth, after hours of nauseating lies.

I couldn't watch this without crying the first few times when I shared it with my family. What a horrible, horrible war. Such a waste of life. Thanks for posting this video. I am curious about the crucifix at 3:54. I've never seen it. Can you tell me where it is located? Thanks.

@HeadlightGlasses That would be from a sculpture park in Moscow Russia, I photographed it when I was there back in 2008. I think it's supposed to represent how working people are crucified by the modern industrial system - which includes serving as cannon fodder in its many wars.

@blackiron60 Thanks. It's tragically beautiful.
