As he said, The song was written about events that happened in 1915. A few things you should know... A Matilda was the name given to the pack that men would carry, like a knapsack. Waltzing Matilda meant to wander the countryside, carrying the bag. Men use to walk from town to town, farm to farm, to try to find work. This walking was also called rambling. The song talks about a peace treaty in the middle of the engagement, where the ANZACs and the Turks called a peace for 24 hours, to bury the dead, due to diseases that were on the rise. There are no ANZAC vets left, yet the march is just as big today as it ever was, infact bigger. People get up early and go to the dawn service (held at around 4:30 am) and then there are later services held later during the morning. While it started because of a battle from WW1, over time it has come to represent all engagements by the Australian Army, and I can only guess it is the same in New Zealand. There is also a studio version of this song, with a video made by a Canadian student, and although it has nothing to do with Canada, I think that it shows the universal suffering war brings. Lest We Forget.

ANZAC DAY is not about glorifying war it's to 'Remember' our fallen soldiers "Less We Forget'' Also to show appreciation to the serving men and women of today. This song is such a moving song and it helps keep the memories of those fallen soldiers alive.

My grandfather was there, at Gallipoli and shot in the hip. They repaired him in Cairo and sent him to the Somme. Somehow he survived there and came home. Couldn’t lay bricks anymore so they sent him to accountants school. My father was on the headland in Darwin when the Japanese bombers flew over and buggered the whole city. He was only 19. I might have been called up to fight in Vietnamese, or mum brother, but lottery missed him, and I was spared by the Whitlam government. My cousin came back from there a wreck. 3 generations encountering war. I’m so glad my kids only have photons on their screens to shoot at. Lest we forget.

"Waltzing Matilda", the original song, is the battle song of the US 1st Marine Division. Their use of this music dates back to WW2 when they received a warm welcome by the people of Melbourne where they went following the Battle of Guadalcanal. Their insignia includes a Southern Cross, part of the Australian flag.

Anzac (Australia and New Zealand Army Corp) Day is special in Australia. In many ways, the First World War defined modern Australia. There isn’t a town or city across the country that does not have a war memorial. So many sons, brothers and fathers did not return and most families will tell of a relative that served as an Anzac (my own grandfather as well). They went off to fight for Mother England, naive to the hell they would endure but their efforts solidified Australia as a nation. The trench warfare fought by the diggers and the Turks was hell. The British planned the assault and it was a disaster for allied troops. Australians return to Turkey every Anzac Day (25th April) to remember. The Turkish people and government welcome them and support the remembrance, with their President at the time saying that the Australian dead were now sons of Turkey. WW! Was significant for Turkey as well as it was the end of the Ottoman Empire and caused considerable strife in Turkey. Many of the Anzacs went on to Europe to fight in France were the French too remember the Australians who fought and died.

We never say happy ANZAC day , it is a day of respect and remembering.

@karenstrong8887 Ай бұрын

More men in Australia enlisted to go to war per Capita than any other Country. They were slaughtered when they were ordered to take the beach and the hill behind in Gallipoli. So many never came home. The Turkish people were following orders and they are now our friends. Many Australian’s travel to Gallipoli every ANZAC Day where there is a war memorial built for us and New Zealand with the names of those lost for a dawn service. Every City and almost every town in Australia has a Returned and Services League Club. Every night of the year we stand, the lights are dimmed and the Ode is said. There is one minutes silence to now remember every war but I believe it belonged to our ANZAC’S. I know it off by heart because I worked in a big one 6 nights a week, this is the Ode. We shall grow not old As we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them Nor the years condemn At the going down of the sun And in the morning We will remember them Silence Lest we forget. We will never forget.

Thank you for acknowledging this awesome song by Eric Bogle. A Matilda is a bed roll ( swag) and when you walk with it hung across your back it dances (waltzing) and they way Eric referred to this poem/song written by Banjo Patterson is a touch of brilliance. Every April 25th is Anzac Day, our National day in reality. We stop, remember, give thanks and mourn those heroes of Gallipoli. We were a young country in 1915 and our population was devastated by the losses we endured. Every town has a memorial, it shapes our country more than anyone could understand. It's more than a legend or myth, it's the brutal reality. A cousin of mine died there on those slopes and his body never recovered, he had run out of ammunition and ordered to run uphill against the Turks with only a bayonet. Eric, in his song and with his incredible style brings the brutality to the song and the heartfelt loss many suffered who lived to come home, wounded, blind, insane. Thank you.

It's not from his personal experience of WW1 (he was born in the 1940s) but his experience of the ANZAC commemorations each ANZAC day. Thank goodness he got 1bit wrong.

Hi Team, thanks for your sincere reaction. Song is about Australia and New Zealand's first major battle of WW1. An amphibious landing on the Gallipoli Penninsula in Turkey. Formative for both ourselves and the Kiwis and we have gone overseas as Anzac ever since. Interesting fact - the song Waltzing Matilda is an informal Australian Anthem but it is also the Regimental March of the 1st Marine Division. This is because it was played to them as they landed in Australia after the terrible battles in the SW Pacific. I learned this when I was with my Aussie rifle company posted to serve with the USMC in K Bay, Hawaii. My piper played it as we marched through the Battalion area one morning and people were getting out of their cars saluting. They didn't know the meaning or origin of the tune and we were unaware of its significance to the Marines. My piper could also play The Halls of Montezuma so if you every want to see a Marine with a tear in their eye, play that to them on the bag pipes. Love the channel. Rob from downunda

Happy ANZAC Day isn't the right wording, but we do appreciate the sentiment you were trying to get across, there is no real word for wishing everyone a peaceful day, or to be at peace, on such a sad and special day. We Observe ANZAC Day and Commemorate the Gallipoli Landing, in a similar way that the US commemorates Memorial Day. The World also Observes Veterans Day in the US, Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth Countries, and Armistice Day in Europe, on the 11th of the 11th with 1 or 2 minutes Silence at 11:00am, signifying the end of WW2. Some countries vary the 11th of the 11th to more significant dates to them, and most countries also have their own version of commemoration of the military personnel and animals that have served, again on significant days to them.

Well said Steve. It's definitely not a happy day; ANZAC day is the most solemn day on the Aussie calendar. We don't glorify and celebrate violence and war anywhere near as much as so many Yanks seem to do. Even though our politicians have been enthusiastic little puppies following the Yanks into nearly all of their adventures since WWII.

This is such an emotional song. What some don't realise is that war impacts not only the individual, but family, friends & loved-ones who are left behind. My grandfather lost two of his three brothers in WWII. I only found out well after his passing that his aloof and quite distant nature while he was alive was related to that. He and his brothers had all drawn straws on who was to go to war while only one of them would stay to help their parents on the family farm. My grandfather (the oldest of all brothers) drew the 'short straw' and was devastated he could not be there to help protect his younger siblings. When two of them were killed in action, it tore him apart and partly blamed himself to the point his youngest brother was that worried about him that he went AWOL and came home to be with his oldest brother and comfort him (he was incidentally taken back by MPs to see out his duties. It told me volumes about why he was the man he was and why he seemed so sad and distant at times. When I hear this song it makes me sad and shed a tear for how much pain, suffering, loss and lack of respect our soldiers endured, but also for those like my grandfather who's loss, pain and suffering was felt for a lifetime thereafter! 😞💙

My daughter was born in 1983 in a tiny country hospital in New South Wales and the town's only doctor was a man who went to both world wars. He enlisted at 14 in ww1 and his experience inspired him to study medicine. When ww2 came he served as a medic. He was an amazing man and a brilliant doctor. Kind, generous, rib cracking funny, yet no nonsense and stern when required. I was blessed to have some very honest talks with him and I realised that he didn't experience any trauma or flashbacks from his experiences. I asked him once how it was he wasn't left mentally scarred as so many were, and after some reflection he simply shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know. I think he was just an extraordinary human and I loved that man. As did the whole town. War could have destroyed him. Instead it shaped him into a true humble hero.

So sad. My great uncle, a Scot, came to Australian married and had two sons. His youngest just eighteen months old when my great uncle volunteered and was sent to Gallipoli as part of the Ist Btn, an ANZAC. He was wounded but managed to keep himself alive until he was seriously wounded in May 1918 at Ypres. He was repatriated to England but died from complications. Back home in OZ his eldest son died a few month later aged 5, his youngest sonwould join the 2nd AIF in WW2 as an officer, and in sad irony he would die in 1943, also leaving behind two young children. My great aunt would never remarry. I remember her, when I was a young boy. She lived a long life, mostly alone.

Although Eric Bogle has lived most of his adult life in Australia is has Australian citizenship, he was born in Scotland. He performed in folk clubs during the Folk Song Revival which started in the late 1950s and 60s and then aged 25, he emigrated Down Under. "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is one of three great anti-war songs written by Eric and it has been covered by many well-known artistes. Eric's rendition is great, but in my humble opinion, my favourite rendition of this song is Liam Clancy's one. There are videos of Liam performing it on KZfaq: you guys should check it out and make a comparison. The other two anti-war songs from Eric Bogle you should check out are "No Man's Land" and "All The Fine Young Men". He wrote "No Man's Land" (which is sometimes also known as "The Green Fields Of France", but Eric always calls it "No Man's Land") after visiting the First World War graveyards of the Western Front in Flanders and spending some time resting by the gravestone of Private William McBride, who was killed in action aged just 19 years old. "All The Fine Young Men" is probably known as well known as the other two, but it is every bit as beautiful, especially performed by Mary Black and her band. Check it out, guys, and see what you think!

As many have mentioned Anzac Day is 25th April and that day to me starts by getting dressed and wearing my grandfathers war medals and heading to our local war memorial for the Dawn service (at dawn on 25th April the Anzacs landed on Gallipoli cove and were slaughtered much like the later D DAY landing). Later that day we return (my kids wear their school uniform and I wear my firefighter's dress uniform) dressed in uniform with posthumous medals and medals earned to attend the march. The marching band plays Waltzing Matilda and we march through the centre of town with returned soldiers, grouped services (fire and Rescue, RFS, SES, Police and Ambulance along with schools in our area) as we march through the main street the residents of the town stand and clap then follow us to the cenotaph (war memorial) for the service. We recognise the sacrifices that the Anzacs and everyone that has served in all wars. Lest we forget

The one part of this song I disagree with "young people ask, what are they marching for?"..... ANZAC day dawn services draw in 10s of thousands of people across the nation every single year. There is something magical and haunting in the cold pre dawn as people appear and a crowd builds quietly and respectfully around the memorial or cenotaph, depends where youre attending......you can feel the respect. My grandfather died at Sandakan as a POW, for us ANZAC Day is HIS memorial. We have no grave to visit so his place on the memorial in Kings Park, and the national memorial in Canberra, are all we have.

So powerful, and beautifully performed. We sometimes choose to forget the reality that veterans have to live with. Sad, really.

Something like 50,000 Australian soldiers died at Gallipoli the most killed in any war we have been in.

The Gallipoli campaign (this is on the finger of land that led to Istanbul)was designed by Britain to distract the Ottoman empire so they couldn't help in the 'real war' in Europe. It was badly led, planned, equipped and supplied. it was one of the lessons that taught us (Australia) to distrust other countries leading our troops. FYI, one of the orchestrators was a young Winston Churchill. Later in this same war, Australian troops (especially the Australian Light horse) would be key in dismantling the Otterman Empire from the south, especially in taking Beersheba (and more importantly it's wells), which allowed the freeing of the area now know as Palestine and Israel. One of the diggers (slang term for an Aussie Soldier) said something about him seeing a sign with 'Beer' in it (BEER sheba) and his horse smelling the water from the wells in the town, and nothing could stop either of them after that.

Yes, Churchill was of that old school mentality. He believed that just by seeing the ANZACs land, the Turks would throw down their guns and run, and the Australians could walk to Istanbul, and their mere presence would cause the Turkish government to surrender! As Australia was part of the British Empire, the British Army had authority over the Australian army, and there was not a lot of respect coming from the British army.

Australian troops were used as fodder in the 1st world war,by Churchill who could or should be considered a war criminal today imo, he knew pearl harbour was going to be attacked before hand and didn't alert the USA in 2nd ww because he needed America to enter the war. Anzac day was and is such a sad, proud day for all Aussie's and this song echo's a time when people were not attending marches like previous years.

There eventually was Conscription in Australia, in WW2 & Vietnam. Even though there wasn’t Conscription for WW2, there was incredible Social pressure for Men to Enlist, with 38.7% of the total male population aged between 18 and 44 going to War, that’s nearly 2 in 5. Over 15% of those didn’t make it back Home, 40% were wounded, 21% suffering ongoing illness. It’s important to remember these details and for Kids to learn them.

Hello Friends, I send you a big greeting from Lima Peru, I recommend listening to Fito Paez. All their songs are good and especially the live song: "two days in the life", dos dias en la vida. I'm sure you'll like it

Australia's Memorial Day is Anzac Day...25th April. It was the 25th April in 1916 that the evacuation from Anzac Cove, Gallipoli took place. only 50% came home. We do not celebrate Anzac Day. Shops and businesses shut and schools close, and from dawns early light we gather together, weep and remember. Every Anzac Day there is s dawn service somewhere all around the world, but at Anzac Cove with representatives of Australia New Zealand and Turkey, its the big one. It's a right of passage for our young people to attend this once in their lives, because the dead are buried there where they fell as is our tradition. And in the horror of what happened, Australia and Turkey are bonded by the blood shed there and we weep for them to. At the inauguration of modern Turkey in 1922, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk stood at Anzac Cove and said these famous words that binds our nations: "Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives ... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours ... You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well." It's also the event that locked Australia to New Zealand and its where the word Anzac came from. The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. If you ever come and visit Australia, come for Anzac Day and stand with us at the Cenotaph in Sydney for the dawn service. It starts at 4,30am and the solemn parade lasts till noon. Veterans from all our wars march in their old units and crowds gather 20 deep for a mile or more as they pass in reverence. In this country, there is no greater hero than a soldier who fought his duty in a far away land.

I know it shouldn't matter.... but the fact you went either side of that ACTUAL day April 25th..... is upsetting me. In Australia it is probably the most important day before even Easter, Christmas or Australia Day.
