The troopers look like civil war soldiers

[@conangaming2156]

That’s what Australian/British police looked like back in the day, they didn’t dress in red like the British military did because they didn’t want people to confuse the two. So what’s the opposite of red, well it’s actually green but blue kinda worked better.

[@sobergriffiths6353]

The e song describes war as futile and gruesome, while criticising those who seek to glorify it. This is exemplified in the song by the account of a young Australian soldier who is maimed at the Battle of Gallipoli during the First World War. The song's imagery evokes the devastation at the Gallipoli Landings. The protagonist, who had travelled across rural Australia before the war, is emotionally devastated by the loss of his legs in battle. As the years pass he notes the death of other veterans, while the younger generation becomes apathetic to the veterans and their cause. The song incorporates, at its conclusion, the melody and a few lines of lyrics of the 1895 song Waltzing Matilda by Australian poet Banjo Paterson.
