This song not only shows some of the war but tells of the story too here.

My good friend from Aussie who has died now sent this song to me last year and now I play it in memory for him and all that has lost their life in this war and all wars.

@Kokoda144 Yeah I already understand the land mine reference. That's why it's my favourite line in the song. I think it's great that they put it in there, a lot of people forget about the horror that was created by land mines during the war/s and the people who suffered as a result don't get nearly enough recognition. But thanks, I might check out the book anyway, it sounds really interesting :)

@SaxiliciousH you should read the book written by Paul Ham called Vietnam Australia war. you will understand why that word mine is so important in this song. they have it on audio book as well. slow to start off with but it gets informative and interesting later.
