im an army cadet and we just had a parade in hobart tasmania, the band made me proud to be part of the AACs, hope to join the real army one day, just like my uncle
Same here but for ANZAC day in my home town in Queensland correction we where marching to waltzing Matilda the quick march version by our local school band
@@CancerGaming56 Haha well, it was 'tongue-in-cheek'. The Red Ensign is the red background of the Australian flag, instead of the blue. Therefore, this represented a particular era of Australia's history, because the red background on a colonial flag represented it being part of the British Empire. It represents a different culture, different values, and different attitudes. I don't use it to push political agendas. I use it because for me, it represents the sacrifice of many Australians from WWI through to the 1950's - wars, hardship, mateship, courage, etc. And also there's family ties to the Australian Merchant Navy, who also use the Red Ensign.
@@CancerGaming56 Basically, the Australian Red Ensign is the generic "I'm Aussie, come at me" flag. Akin to the USN's "Don't tread on me" in that way. Technically speaking, The Red Ensign was the flag that the ANZAC's fought under as volunteers in the Australian Imperial Forces. In the opening stages of WWI they were forced to fight under the Union Jack as they were led by British Officers. However; being fair-dinkum Aussie's (and Kiwi's - cannot forget our siblings across 'the ditch') they chaffed at that idea, and when the first 'All Australian' companies (lead by Australian Officers) started to form they choose to distingish themselves using the Australian Red Ensign or civil flag (which was permitted by the Government to be used by civilians, and was a common sight around Australia until the 1950's - as distinct from the blue flags that represented offical Government offices (an inherited Britsh practice)). In fact, all Aussie land forces were recruited and fought under the Red Ensign from 1901 - when 'Australia' was formed with the Federation of the separate colonial States - until after the Second World War in 1954. From this time on, the practice of the blue background being restricted for use by the Government only was lifted, meaning that private citzens were allowed to fly the blue fly 'Australian National Flag (ANF)'. Historically representative of British Empire colonies - "Red Dusters" named as they 'dusted the entire globe' under the British Empire (or the Red flag, Union Jack in Canton and then unique Charge, Emblem or Badge to represent the particular colony in the Field - to use the Vexilogical terms). Any colony that didn't have a distinct Emblem flew the generic 'Red Duster' of the 1800's Royal Navy - the Union Jack in the canton of a Red flag without embellishment in the Field. It's a complicated story, as to why it became contravesial, but confluencing factors are: Australia's attempt to distance itself from Britain and form a unique identity - particularly following the use of Australian and other colonial troops as fodder in the Galipoli and Western Front campaigns of WWI; the failure of the British to adequetly defend Singapore, or her other Pacific interests and colonies against Japanese agression during WWII, which directly threatened (and caused direct harm in the case of the Bombing of Darwin); and the rise of America as a power - and undoubtedly, rescuer, after the battle of the Coral Sea; a softening of anti-government sentiment stemming all the way back to 'Transportation Sentences to Terra Australis'; Residual "anti-taxation without representation" sentiment from the Eureka Stockade, which catapulted use of the non-Government 'Southern Cross' (Now Ballarat Flag), which used a styalised version of the now common cellestial constellation, as the formal Emblem of Australia, and subsequent use on the Australian Red Ensign - and every Aussie backpackers arm since; all contributed to an attempt to 'blue wash' the identity of the Australian flag. The "True Blue" 'ANF' has been the symbol of the country - and incidentally the Ensign for the Australian Army - since then (1954). The red of the background also became contriversial with the rise of communism (red being associated with socialism). The Australia Red Ensign, in current times, formally represents the Australian Merchant Navy, and can legally displace the ANF and be flown by any Privately-Owned vessel registered in an Australian jurisdiction. Informally - and to a much much lesser extent - the Red Ensign has started to be used (most recently in anti-COVID lockdown rallies) as a symbol of 'Soverign Citizens' and by far-right, anti-goverment groups. Which is a completely distorted, if not historically ironic, use of the original intent of the flag (considering that the red was 'permitted by the Government' who excluded private citizenry from the use of the blue ANF) in a selective - almost cherry-picking way - drawing on the distinction of the Red as representing non-government people of Australian identity. But you can just add that ignorance to the rest of that groups "5G conspriacy-theory, Anti-Vaxxer, 'I have the right to kill everyone with my ignorance', Koolaid-drinking" behaviour, ignoring the fact that it was also used by their extreme polar oposite communist brethern for the exact same reason. Of further historical interest perhaos, is that the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) used the British Royal Navy's (RN) 'White Ensign' (Union Jack canton on St George's Cross flag) up until as recently as the Vietnam conflict. RAN ships used a 'Red Kangaroo' (affectionately refered to as 'Skippy') painted or affixed to their funnels to differentiate them as Australian - a practice that other Commonwealth countries also adopted, with the Royal New Zealand Navy using a green Kiwi, and the Canadians using a Red maple leaf. Australian armoured vehicles also display a 'Skippy'. The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) went a step further and incorporated 'Skippy' into their Roundel, displacing the British RAF Roundel's inner red dot in their take on design. As Britain was not a participant in the Vietnam conflict, it was not appropriate to use the RN Ensign, so after the 'Australia White Ensign (AWE)' received Royal Ascent, it gave the 'Senior Service' their own distinct Flag and Colours to fly proudly since then.
Best version of the song, the bridge section at 0:54 should be included for the march for 1RAR. Shame you only hear it at Kapooka and RMC but I guess that is what makes this version so special to me.
Damn, now I know why my SASR cousin is always talking about how good our army ceremonies are, but I never really knew because I am like legit one of about 3 people in my family who isn't in the ADF.

Ah yes, the Red Ensign.
I, too, like to live dangerously.
(I have a bumper sticker of one on my laptop lid, and one hanging in my room)
I’m not from the land down under, may I ask about the Red Ensign? It looks cool, want to know about “dangerous” aspect of it.

Was in the Cadets, 1969, then the Army. Like my dad, there was a great sense of pride in having worn the Slouch hat.

We heard it at Marching out parade at AAS. It was like yesterday even though it was over 30 years ago.
that's the tune "a brown slouch hat", i absolutely love it
Waltzing Matilda, but the Jolly Swagman joined the army
Loved hearing this on ANZAC day!
