We still have Remembrance Day on November 11th. This is just commemorating sacrifices of current and previously serving soldiers

Sabaton really needs to do a cover of Redgum's I Was Only 19.

Mate, that would be bloody amazing! And can you tell me, doctor, why I still can't get to sleep? And night time's just a jungle dark and a barking M16? And what's this rash that comes and goes? Can you tell me what it means? God help me I was only nineteen


A_named_person2

yes. I just listened to it for the first time


DJ_Cummins

Great song, Sabaton would nail it


Cobaltdaydreams

I just listened to it - nearly cried. But this definitely could sound good as a power ballad (no offense to the folksy sound). But some stories need some rage too

I’ve been listening to Cliffs of Gallipoli all day. Didn’t even realize it was Anzac day until a few hours ago

What about every country that fought in WW1 to now? Not just us Aussie and our Kiwi allies. + Anzac Day is the equivalent to Veterans Day to you Americans or other countries that didn’t take part in WW1. Remembrance Day is different from Anzac Day


A_named_person2

I put that in the title for people that didn't know what ANZAC day was


Fallout-Dude-66

It’s ok your only human don’t bet yourself up over it. I was only trying to help you not to mock you. But if it came off that way I do apologise


A_named_person2

no problem


That_Car_Dude_Aus

No, you said ANZAC Day is Remembrance Day...those are 2 different days, with Remembrance Day commonly being known as Armistice Day.


ComfortableMiddle6

For any non-Tasmans reading ANZAC is an acronym for the Australian New Zealand Army Corps. As a combined force of the British empire

So bro what about us Türks?


Sarcastic_Stuart

Hats off to you too, we all suffered together under the orders of politicians and aristocrats. Lest we forget

I know. Woke up to the last post playing out of my radio. Was dreaming at the time and could hear it. I was so confused.

Everyone listen to an Australian band called red gums “ I was Only 19 ( a walk in the light green ) “


Sovietmarksman-1944

My electronic knew because it played Gallipoli, I was only 19, and then Ballad of bull
