  • The old mans song... is this a genuine adaptation of Waltzing Matilda? where did you get it from?

  • @ActuallyDave91 Hi Dave The song in the film is based on 'The Band Played Waltzing Matilda', as written and sung by Eric Bogle, but he gave me permission by email to adapt it myself to suit the British scenario, and have it sung by someone here. Thanks for taking the interest - Annette.

  • You want to know what WW1 was really like?

    Go into your backyard and dig a hole. Live in it for 6 months, then shoot yourself.

  • @MAnnaconduit1 dont forget the incessant gnawing of lice, the dismembered bodies of your friends, the unceasing deafening noise of bombs the size of volkswagens; the screeching of dying horses and the miserable cries for water by the lads croaking in no mans land.

  • hmmm.... i don't think that even through the worst of the wars... britain never gave up hope... they had the courage to go out there and fight for our contrey... and win the wars.. in many stories there were some happy events.. like one christmas the germans and the british dropped there rifles and played a game of football on no mans land.. and shook hands with one another... it seems we are only remebering the worst of the actions.. but lets not forget the good ones as well
