I feel ashamed that the Leftie Loonies want to tear down statues of great men like Churchill and many others, the desecrate War Memorials. They are too stupid to realise some of the fallen and maimed could have been there forebears. They are disrespecting the Millions of men and women who gave their lives, to give these Morons freedom of speech and the right to protest. Had the Nazis won WW2 they would probably have been shot or put in Concentration Camps. The Homosexuals and Trans people and Lesbians would all have been shot. There are over 6 million Jews, Gypsies, Disabled, and Mentally ill al murdered by the Nazis. The poor deluded fools have no idea how lucky they are.
As a American I have to say that I hold a great and deep respect for the Australians, they fight like devils and have the hearts of lions, hell even Mustafa Kemal Ataturk following there withdrawal from Gallipoli had nothing but praise for them. One battle that sticks out to me is the battle of Long Tan in Vietnam on which the Australians held out against a much bigger Vietnamese force and due to it Lyndon B Johnson (then president of the United States) gave them one of the highest honors a unit can achieve which was a Presidential Unit Citation
Lovely thing to share with us Weed Whacker, thank you. This song was done as a tribute to our local diggers who, for the first time in history, could not attend an ANZAC day service in our local area because of Covid. I'm sure you'll agree that all who served deserve to hold a place in the memory of the fortunate. Cheers, Paul
The battle for fireball coral was bigger. Australia won its part of the Vietnam conflict. By 1972 the Vietcong were a spent force in Vung tau provenance.....they weren't VIetcong tanks rolling into the presidential palace in 1975.....
Being English makes me proud of my nationality yet I always think of those who fought with us and the Anzac regiments were so brave and we should never forget them either
Back in 2018 I got to serve alongside the Diggers. I'm in the US Coast Guard and it was the first time Coasties served alongside the Aussies and traveled and lived on the HMAS Adalade to PNG. It will probably be the greatest moment in my USCG career.
My dad a Canadian war vet said that the Brits, Auzzies,and Canuck made one hell of a unified FIGHTING MACHINE! If not for them the war would have been lost ! God bless them all!
Aussie are the best I would stand back to back with any Aussie in a fight they came to foreign lands to help and I salute them Thanks for those that never returned I will never ever forget what you did and not only these men but other nations that helped us and fought fiercely to give us what we have so damn well appreciate it because men and women lost precious lives better than mine or you so remeber those when you see a military grave they sacrificed for you and me
As an ANZAC WW1 (and WW2) relative: I'll say this: I am Proud of My Aussie cousins, whom have stood so very steadfastly beside us Kiwis for so long and so-often. Not an April 25th goes-by without me thinking of THEM: Those who stood-to, and gave Their-all. From the Boer Wars, to Gallipoli, from Paschendael to Viet-Nam, and into the modern era. May THEY Ever-Be Remembered. - - Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell, Wellington, New Zealand.
Indeed! Judith represented all that is good in life, all that being Aussie is. We will always love her, never forget her grace, beauty, charm, and of course THE voice!
I have been to El Alamein...standing at the German Memorial right at the former frontline with the Australians. Some hours later with my international comrades at the Australian Memorial right next to the British Cemetery. Would have been the right time to play this song.
My great-grandfather and later my grandfather knew firsthand what it was like to fight against these warriors. My respects and greetings from Chile to the people of the great Australian nation.
I enjoyed this rendition. I am a New Guinean or, as we say it "Niu Gini". I wanted to let you know that the Kokoda Track has never been called a "Trail" by any of the soldiers who served there, It is the KOKODA TRACK. Australians don't say Trail...that's American.
Hi, thank you for your message and the correction. My grandfather always called it the Kokoda Track and I also served in the Australian Army so I'm not sure how I slipped into calling it a 'Trail'. I wish I knew this before I put it up there! Thank you for your kind words. Paul Slingsby
yooo. it's now the Kokoda trail because now it's all walked through and treaded through. but it was the Kokoda Track, when they served. both are correct depending on the time you a referring to. not necessary American/Australian. All to do with the time.
@@jackbrady9738 Sorry Jack. That's WOKE bullshit. And you should know it! Aussies don't (shouldn't) say Trail. Try this for size, "There's a trail winding back to an old-fashioned shack along the road to Gundagai" Doesn't work mate...why? Because it's a "Track winding back to an old-fashioned shack" Stop trying to take away our culture just because you read too much American.
@@thedogman14 TOO LONG; DIDN'T READ: It's actually a good Americanism to call it a trail, because it's more Respectful to the reality of the situation, therefore it's more Respectful to the ANZACs. So I'll continue calling it trail, thank you. - I love where you're coming from; please keep up the Good fight: Aussie culture is pure; keep it diverted and bastioned like a retaining wall, protected from being swallowed by the ocean of Americanisms. I love it. What I said about track vs. trail isn't woke, and please, how DARE\\ you refer to that word; please from now on refer to it as the "w-word" i am that offended by it. nah but really - i fucking HATE woke. i am here to destroy that KGB influence antisemitic anti capitalism disrepecting the Diggers dog shit: I'm not even full of it either; I'm literally going to Parliament tomorrow to protest these filth. That is all to say^, to qualify myself Aussie enough to say this: I am definitely not using a crude Americanism in favour of a specialised concise Australianism. I am actually being respectful to the Diggers on Kokoda: our first line of Defence (second technically: The Battle of the Coral Sea; was the first). You are right on this: today, it is Kokoda Track. Track being: a rough path or road, typically one beaten by use rather than constructed. Oxford definition- yes theyre poofta 'think ya smart' wankers; take it or leave it - you gotta give them credit here though: they do hit the nail on the head when it comes to universal english definitions. That is what it is today: A track. It is now one that is beaten by use. Yes, you are correct, that is what it is today. The Kokoda Track. HOWEVER. Back when those Diggers were on Kokoda, our first (ground) line of Defence. There was no track, son. It was not 'beaten by use'. To call it even a, 'rough path', is insulting to those gentlemen who protected and sacrificed on that untouched jungle terrain. Because, it wasn't just 'rough', nor was there any 'path'. It was just hazardous jungle wet disgusting filth mud leech terrain. Now, when the first Kokoda Digger gentlemen, who first forged, what we now see today as a beaten path: a track. What the men who held the machete at the front, saw, all they saw in front of them was just pure jungle. Now what would you call what is left behind when someone who is cutting down untouched hazardous jungle terrain with a machete? Is it travelled through enough yet to be a track, beaten down by the stampede of swollen feet? I don't think so. What's a more apt description of what the gentlemen who followed behind the machete were left with? A trail. What is a trail? Like a contrail left behind of a swift fighter jet; a wisp of air so faint, if one was to look up in the sky to bear their direction by the sun, they might miss it. Like a trail of dust left behind from an old workened ute on the highway, if you're travelling fast enough, you could miss it: a trail. Moreover, to move from the 'feelings and metaphors' of words, to being 'technical' Oxford based. A trail, when used as a verb, is: you're 'trailing' behind someone, you're 1.walking or moving slowly and wearily (oxford). It also means, 2.to be drawn directly behind someone/something (oxford). Exactly as it would've been for those Kokoda Diggers: 1.wearily and slowly 2.walking directly behind. So both the technical and the 'feeling' of the word 'trail' FAR better suit it to be called when referring to it for how it was, "at the time". it's more Respectful to the reality of the situation: There was no track. It feels insulting even to call it a trail. It should be called today, the Kokoda Track. But we need to call it another name, a word that encapsulates a feeling of a "slow, dreary, 'in-line' trailing march/walk". SIDENOTE: TBH, let's say one could take everything away from the Americans, the one thing you can never take away, even if you were given all the Power of the Infinite Ethereal Essence; of God itself: their People's Respect, devotion, loyalty, and Trust in their Military. They don't get things wrong when it comes to their military.
Thank you. I was born and raised in Can Tho of what was then Phong Dinh Province of South Vietnam. Thank you to all the Australians who fought to defend Vietnam from the communists and their Chinese collaborators. Don't listen to the leftist Western or communist propaganda. Most Vietnamese appreciated your sacrifice. The Western media doesn't report on it, but the VC were decimated during Tet. From then on, the communists had to send soldiers in to attack from North Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. The Southern insurgency had ended. Some else mentioned, they weren't VC (South Vietnam guerilla communist) tanks that rolled through the Presidential Palace in 1975, they were North Vietnamese.
I am very touched. I’m American. A US Marine fought in Vietnam. I have read a great deal about the war. I’ve consoled myself by thinking we did honorable service for a dishonorable cause. But you are right. The politicians in both countries were dishonorable. The cause, a free democratic Vietnam, was just. I am crying now because at 80 I just had an epiphany. I’m so sorry I can’t share it with my brothers. Because in battle is what we fought for: each other. Peace my brother.
My big brother was in the Army and I wanted to follow him but meet my x. Big mistake but have 3 beautiful children and my other brother also joined the reserve and I was more of a Tom boy as I’m the youngest..Mark ,Steve and I Karen L Thomson and we are all retired..Australia.🙏🇦🇺🍀🦋🐞
@@Rob-fc9wg Having visited there myself, I think it's through the things we have so in common as to be close to identical that Australians and Americans get along as we do. A fundamentally English social foundation, transplanted to a continent-wide, warm to very hot land -- and pretty dry in parts too. We expect the same sort of things from government. Such things as that.
Nice little tribute to the Division that had to go from the sand and dust of the Middle East to the jungles of new Guinea along with their Citizen Military Forces compatriots who had to fight in Australian administered territories. Lest We Forget.
As an American I wish to give a shout out to Sgt Andrew Russell Royal Australian Army. The first of over a thousand of allied military personal who fell in action in defence of MY country 5 months after a horrific September day. To his family and the families of all who left there homes to aid in the defense of MY family and nation Thank You will never be enough. The spirit of that sacrifice explains why HMAS Canberra (lost at the Battle of Savo Island during WW2) is the only foreign warship to be on the US Navy's roll of honor. The current in commission USS Canberra is an LCS homeported in San Diego, CA. Go Padres.
As a Kiwi I loved the clip of the Aussies leaving North Africa for the Pacific. You told Churchill (much as I love him) to get fucked while our Kiwi boys stayed and fought in Italy.
I am Flemish in a country where you have to have of the 3 languaes (sorry for the spelling) I visit not for pleasure the graves of so many young men who fel here in Flanders, when you can reach me, look at the side Menen poort, every day clorons sound to remember the fallen and misses solders

To all the people of Australia and New Zealand always remember how we the ordinary citizens of the UK will always appreciate you. Like yourselves we live in very strange times were our so called politicians force mandates and bad science upon our peoples. Our corrupt press lie daily to you. We could certainly do with the ANZACS today. Thanks always.
These are Australian heroes and we hasten to forget them, those who should never be forgotten. We are now a nation divided by politicians who seek to only keep their positions of power to the detriment of the silent majority. It has now become a shameful thing to call yourself a proud Australian and rejoice on Australia Day ... Who would have thought that even remotely possible when these heroes went off to fight fascism.
A whole Generation from all nations lost for no reason. Millions of young lives wiped out by Officers who were miles away and did not see the carnage. RIP all the fallen, you deserved better.
Thanks Cobbers, for slipping a Kiwi and the Kiwi flag in there. Guess I am too old now, but I would have gone and died in a ditch with youse fellas, if you had needed our help. I'da kept my hand firmly on my kick when we were on R'n'R together tho. :P

@@Rob-fc9wg The Fuzzies, or FWA's are still mentioned in Legacy Magazine. The Aussie fella, who sang, "The Real Thing", was brought up, knowing exactly who they were. Our Ex-PM when he said repeatedly that"was a lot of Covid, up in PNG, I expected he would donate DOSH, or Health-Care staff, in recognition, but he was ONLY thinking of HIS, PERSONAL JOB! I do not think there has ever been a Symbol, or Statue, erected up, in PNG, for their Gold-Hearted, Selfless help, they gave our men, & possibly Nursing Sisters, too, back at a camp.
the sad part of any war is the lose of the innocent also people of color who served when they came home they got spit on and harrased and treated as dirt
The time to be brave like them is fast approaching.

Hello Karen, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??
To all the people of Australia and New Zealand always remember how we the ordinary citizens of the UK will always appreciate you. Like yourselves we live in very strange times were our so called politicians force mandates and bad science upon our peoples. Our corrupt press lie daily to you.
We could certainly do with the ANZACS today. Thanks always.
Just remember. blood is thicker than water. God bless you
I am 65 and My unties were in the land Army in Australia 🇦🇺🙏
These are Australian heroes and we hasten to forget them, those who should never be forgotten. We are now a nation divided by politicians who seek to only keep their positions of power to the detriment of the silent majority. It has now become a shameful thing to call yourself a proud Australian and rejoice on Australia Day ... Who would have thought that even remotely possible when these heroes went off to fight fascism.
I wonder if Private Elphick with the Boys anti tank rifle was any relation to Michael Elphick the British actor. YNWA
Sorry... I'm back... This song gives me a courage... Thank You
They are in heaven
I, personally used to look after the remaining "Rats OF TOBRUK".
How so?
Lest we forget
A whole Generation from all nations lost for no reason. Millions of young lives wiped out by Officers who were miles away and did not see the carnage. RIP all the fallen, you deserved better.
Don’t talk bollocks. It’s a wonder we won the war listening to you whinging Aussies.
Thanks Cobbers, for slipping a Kiwi and the Kiwi flag in there.
Guess I am too old now, but I would have gone and died in a ditch with youse fellas, if you had needed our help.
I'da kept my hand firmly on my kick when we were on R'n'R together tho. :P
"TIE ME KANGAROO DOWN, SPORT..."❣️
Forget about that song!
It was written and performed by a filthy and disgusting convicted pedophile.
The best way we can honour them all is to say NO TO WAR.
Brave Aussies.They fought for Freedom.🍺
The Anzacs where some of the finest and brave people on the planet. What happened?
The ANZACS had their cowards and deserters just like every other army.
immigration happened
Good job but........it's the Kokoda Track, not trail.
The boys of this country... Died for this country .... sorry I'm crying..
@Rodney 1984 thanks Rodney
I love it! Can I know the lyrics of this version?
Thank you! If you search Bruce Woodley I Am Australian (ANZAC version) lyrics, you should find a few sites. One I just found was on lyricstranslate.com.. hope that helps! Catherine.

Australian New ZEELAND AUX CORPORESEN. ANZAC.
And, The Aussies, thank 'the Fuzzies", for all their help.
The Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels.
@@Rob-fc9wg The Fuzzies, or FWA's are still mentioned in Legacy Magazine.
The Aussie fella, who sang, "The Real Thing", was brought up, knowing exactly who they were.
Our Ex-PM when he said repeatedly that"was a lot of Covid, up in PNG, I expected he would donate DOSH, or Health-Care staff, in recognition, but he was ONLY thinking of HIS, PERSONAL JOB!
I do not think there has ever been a Symbol, or Statue, erected up, in PNG, for their Gold-Hearted, Selfless help, they gave our men, & possibly Nursing Sisters, too, back at a camp.
@@MMM-dq9jj14up
Russell Morris?
Please elaborate.
@@Rob-fc9wg That's for you, to figure out. I've virtually given away his personal business already. May have relied on Legacy.
the sad part of any war is the lose of the innocent also people of color who served when they came home they got spit on and harrased and treated as dirt
Kool.
No other country has just a fine patriotic song. Certainly not in America, because it is not one.
The reason is that other countries are just quietly proud of their part in freedom and don’t keep shouting about it. In short we are mature.
