the ending of this song blaring behind be as I marched off the parade ground at Kapooka in my final moments as a recruit was one of the best moments of my life
I can think of only two military opponents of Great Britain who are now highly regarded. One is Napoleon, the other Erwin Rommel .A compliment to ANZAC'S indeed!!.
Thanks for posting! I was one of the soldiers in this parade. It was a beat the retreat parade. I still chuckle at the funny wall they made from hessian :)
Well, perhaps here is a strange story to tell. After Tobruk had been retaken, Our Aussie Brothers sang "Po Kare kare-ana" in Maori to us, and in reply, the Kiwis (ANZAC, as ARE the Aussies) Sang "Waltzing Matilda" both of which were regarded as being MORE than the National Anthem of Australia, just as "Now is the Hour" and "E Hine E" (or, ' Hine E hine' {how the Song/Lullaby is titled depends upon where you come-from in NZ}) are regarded as being MORE than the National Anthem of New Zealand. Curiously, none of the 'Official Histories' record this, in either Nation. Yet it remains that I have been gifted this information by both Australians and New Zealanders who were present at that time.

As a visitor to this beautiful land I say: i thought they screwed up by not picking this song as an anthem but! Now anyone can sing it any time without any feeling of formality!
I'm not one for knocking our guys, but I don;t see the slim trim fighting machine. I think a little to much beer and pizza Friday nights. But still proud of you all.

I heard a recorded version of Waltzing Matilda for military band decades ago up in Banff. I don't know if it was a British, Australian or Canadian Band. It was the best I had ever heard. This version is pretty weak. Somewhere there exists a top-notch military band version in some British or Australian band library that was written probably somewhere between 1900 and 1940 which is going to waste while this second rate versions are being used.

Always loved being in the banner party and hearing waltzing Matilda play you in. Coulda sworn ya heart starts to beat to the tune

If I had to take hell, I would use the Australians to take it and the New Zealanders to hold it.
Erwin Rommel

How true mate
Suppose the kiwis aren't to bad
I always thought it was Canadians to take it.

Long Live the Commonwealth. Down with the Traitors!
Did you not hear the excited young crowd member's perfectly timed vocalisation?
I may have been a CMF bamdsman but it brings back wonderful memories of days long gpne

I played this as background music for a presentation. A lot of people surprisingly liked it
Good one Darwin 3.

We do lots of stuff like this, I received a rising sun medal from a sergeant in darwin for leading a drumline platoon.

Wishing all Australians good luck and good health!
Cool! Greetings from Russia!
Nice, but we need to watch our weight, and what is it with the big cat fur I wonder?
Nice
Pity about the sound cutting out at the end

It's tradition that the bass drummer wears a leopard skin. Though they have stopped doing it because someone thinks it's related to slavery.
