What a tragedy that campaign was. The brits who formed the strategy had no idea of what was waiting there. But who cares about about a couple of thousand ANZAC's......
This version is very authentic and solid, but the best version of this song (IMHO) is done by Midnight Oil.
Lots of respect for the men that fought then but i gotta say, who's fucking stupid idea was it to storm THAT particular beach. I mean look at it, the fucking thing is built for defence. No wonder we got chewed up and spat out. Love the troops, hate the idiots that decided to attack there.
@NicholasIronfist As a mere Pom, I have the greatest respect for Australia and her people, Mind you, I think differently when it comes to the Ashes tests. Whenever I hear this song it brings a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye.
i am proud to have served this country in the forces and have lost good men in service my mates as my grand father did as my father did i find it dispointing that the younger ones dont see the scarifice we /they made they would not no the meaning of hard yakka
The Pogues version the best by a mile, Shane's voice gives this song credence!

Using the Aussie vernacular
You say "LEST WE FORGET"
We say "WE WILL NEVER F*CKIN FORGET"
