This battle at Gallipoli is forever etched in our Aussies brain . For a small nation of only about 6 million people at the time we lost thousands in the 1st world war
250,000 casualties, over 60,000 dead, among the highest of any nation and higher than the US. Our population was only 4.5 million and our army had 400,000 soldiers and every one was a volunteer, no conscripts.
I visited Gallipoli when I was in Istanbul. The rest of the group of tourists (including the mate I was travelling with) were Aussies. It was such an emotional day. The memorial is done very well, very respectful, and the area is beautiful, but of course the tragedy is that the memorial is needed at all. I had heard this song before performed by several artists, fantastic.
@@JohnJ469 We should not have been there, the British used our boys as cannon fodder and our Government allowed it to save British lives, we were only a diversion....and it worked, we were attacking a cliff face and the Turks knew we were coming, like shooting fish in a barrel, that is what made the "diversion" work, the Politics of war, England said "bend over" and Australia assumed the position and we grabbed our ankles....and we are still doing it to this day, the sad part of this song is the fact that is actually happens, it is what War is about, the most moving song an Aussie could ever hear
@@georgemoore7186 You do know that the invasion fleet landed a mile and a half from the intended target don't you? They were never supposed to land near the cliffs. It was certainly a clusterf*ck, but was way more than a "diversion". Exactly who was supposed to be diverted? And from where? I'm not sure your diversion theory fits the facts or the battle plans of the time.
One of the great anti-war songs. When that was written in 1971, Australia was still sending its young men to fight in the Vietnam war, so the song had particular power at that time.
@@Scott-uu5py Waltzing Matilda was written in 1895. This song 'And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda' was written in 1971. Two totally different songs mate.
Dedicated to my Dad who fought in Vietnam and was a lifelong Australian soldier retiring in 1988. He still refuses to march on ANZAC day. He’s 81 now. We live in Adelaide. 🇦🇺
Same for my late dad... When he came back from Vietnam they were told to wear civi's due to the public disdain for the conflict. The Vietnam veterans were treated dusgustingly. Forever proud & greatful of my father & all vetrans.
My late husband also fought in Vietnam! Suffered horrendous nightmares for the rest of his too short life! Died 33 years ago, and I still miss him every second of every minute, of every hour of every day! Rest in peace my darling PJD! 😢😢😢😢😢
some veterans didn't like it. My father was one. He did not like the lines They're tired old heroes from a forgotten war And the young people ask, "what are they marching for?" And I ask myself the same question His reasoning is that they are not forgotten wars and they march in remembrance of those who did not get the chance to march. No one glorifies war but they do remember particular battles of importance. It is also important to acknowledge the difference in the make up of our military. I got to talk to lady at our local service. She had been to the Middle East twice as an intelligence officer so she was fully entitled to wear her medals on her left side - I did see a couple of double take at seeing this as i assume they thought she was wearing her father's medals which would have been worn on the right side.
Eric Bogle wrote the song after watching an ANZAC Day march. Not quite sure what the American equivalent is (Remembrance Day perhaps)? But ANZAC Day is a really big deal in Australia. It’s a National Holiday here. There are “Dawn Commemoration Services”, street marches for the returned servicemen (relatives march with their deceased family members service medals where appropriate). School kids march. There’s “two up” games at most of the pubs and clubs. All the TV networks have coverage of the marches and memorial services, and screen “war history documentaries” throughout the day. Lest We Forget.
Lest we forget was intended to be a warning for all future generations. We have a solemn duty to study history in the hope that possibly one day we might save even one life. You know, Lest We Forget invokes a silent duty in every one of us. Just to try to be better.
In 1917 Stan forged his parents name on a piece of paper (that said he was 17) and sent to France. A German machine gunner put three bullets through his left leg. A rough field -amputation left him coming back to Australia at 16 with one leg and a stump. At 70 he used to go around the house singing "Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile smile smile." He was always so kind to us kids. We never saw him depressed or anything else but kind and caring. This beautiful song is filled with such pathos. God bless grandad Stan. RIP. Australia
The song is about the ANZACs (Australian & New Zealand Army Corps) that fought the Gallipoli campaign in World War 1 (1914-18), hence the line "In 1915, my Country said Son". The actual song Waltzing Matilda (which he sings a few bars of at the end) is seen as very Australian and patriotic (lthough it's really just about a petty thief!) and it's often played on occaisions where patriotism is desired. His song contrasts that cliched patriotism with the futility and horror of war. Heard it 100 times, still makes me want to cry every time. For another anti-war Australian classic (for the Vietnam conflict), try "I Was Only Nineteen" by Redgum (NOT the cover by The Herd). It's full of Aussie reference that you may struggle with but the message is very clear.
This song has nothing to with the Anzac it's about the Australian history if you listen to it there is nowhere in the song does say anything about the new Zealanders
F the pommie bustards who destroyed the lives of many of their colonial subjects through inept leadership and a belief that we were below them and of no loss.
Eric Bogle is an amazing talent. To think that a person could come to this country and within two years he had penned this ballad. It still moves me as it does so many others.
This song was written in 1971 when on ANZAC Day I saw veterans from WW1, WW2, Korea, Malaya, and Vietnam all marching together in their original units. The anti-war movement was also at its height in 1971. ANZAC Day has survived and remains very important. My great-uncle had his 21st birthday at Gallipoli and then joined his two older brothers on the western front. My uncles served in the middle east and then later joined my father in New Guinea.
My husband spent 1971 in Vietnam with the Australian army and when he returned in the November he and his comrades were flown in in the middle of the night to avoid being spat on and jeered at by the anti war protesters who instead of venting their anger at members of the government vented it on the conscripts who were given no choice about going to war. It’s likely one of the big factors behind so many Vietnam veterans suffering PTSD, they didn’t feel safe talking about it to anyone after they got home.
Joel, where this song speaks to the futility of war; of our youth being served up as fodder for their country and how no war is ever won, your reaction to it speaks to the goodness in your heart and your humanitarianism. God bless you, and thank you for simply being you!
@@scouseaussie1638 The gains to be had through any war are only ever temporary, and certainly minimal when you consider the broader scheme of more spiritual things. If war is not futile, if it served the purpose I assume you are wont to give it, then History would not repeat itself as we allow it to. We would have found world peace centuries ago. Where war destroys communities and families of people unknown to governments who wager such ills upon their people, and to those who come to kill them, it disrupts the development of society at both a social and economic level. Further, given that the effects of war include long-term physical and psychological harm to veterans as well as their families, to children and adults - to the innocent - would you still say that war is not futile but a necessity? Just so you know, and in full respect of your person, I will never agree with you. God bless you! Show less
Young lads as young as fourteen enlisted lying about their ages. A bastard English who was no where near the fighting sent a generation of young Australian men to hell on earth. My grandfather fought at Gallipoli and it took something from him that changed him and also gave him something sleepless nights and worse, what was never shared, and we can’t even imagine what that was. Proud of you grandpa
@@scouseaussie1638Try and explain that to those on all sides who died needlessly in WW1, and probably never knew what they were fighting for. They were led to believe it was an adventure by those who propagandised the war as being for 'God and Country'.
I've been living in Scotland for 12 years now and Waltzing Matilda is played everywhere here all the time, but I had never heard this live version... Even more poignant than what I hear on the radio... It's a beautiful song. Thanks for sharing your emotions and thoughts with us 😊
Thank you for your wonderfully sensitive reaction to this amazing song. You're a fine young man with admirable values. Your videos have become a must-watch for me.
It was about Gallipoli, a badly organised beach landing by the English, and us Aussies were mowed down. Still remembered today, a shocking event. You should look up a Gallipoli doco. Waltzing Matilda is about an Australian swagman who stole a sheep and is a classic and loved Aussie song
It's a myth the landing was poorly organised. It was actually very well prepared. The losses on the beach were quite light. The casualties mounted as the pushed inland & it degenerated into small groups lost in the gullies. And then, obviously, the horrors of trench warfare.
Thank you for your 'reaction video'. I appreciate you taking the time to learn about our culture. For your learning: 25th April 1915 the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC's) landed at Gallipolli Turkey in the first World War. Every year since , ANZAC DAY 25th April, we remember them. It is a public holiday. It's bigger than our Australia Day 26th Jan 1788 (annually). which we also celebrate. Also a public holiday. Lest We Forget. God bless you.
Thankfully the line "one day no one will march" has never come true here in Australia, actually the crowds and marchers either current or former serving men and women and also the descendants of soldiers now make the numbers, my grandfather was an original ANZAC at Gallipoli and did land on the 25th April with the 4th Battalion AIF, he was one of the lucky ones that left the beach many weeks later only to continue fighting, till the end of the war, thank you for your thoughts mate
@@johnnichol9412 lots of family members of veterans march, including grandchildren and great grandchildren. If no one marches it means every veteran has been forgotten, our history lost.
@@johnnichol9412 People go to the Dawn Service to show respect. They are not soldiers just ordinary Aussies and Kiwis. Many great grand children of the soldiers march.
@@elianaslivia4405 Unfortunately the forgetting part seems to manifest itself when Australia charges off into another pointless war in the middle-east, despite the lies and deception of wars like Vietnam having been laid bare. As context, my great uncle died at Gallipoli and he's certainly not forgotten, however, not learning from history isn't much different from forgetting it.
I think the line 'one day no one will march' is a reference to the fact that those who fought at Gallipoli are ageing and dying. In 1971, when the song was written, those who fought in Gallipoli were in their mid-70s.
I love your honest reaction JPS. I'm a aussie performing musician & I have performed that song & have made grown men cry. There is so much meaning & feeling behind this that go back generations. I think this sentiment relates to all our aussie heroes from all wars since then. Love your stuff mate. Keep bringing it.
Thank you Joel. Two great uncles of mine were killed at Ypres during World War One. One had survived Gallipoli only to die in Belgium. One of them I have a report from a witness who said that a shell exploded at my great uncle's feet and there was nothing of him left. I have had the report for some time but I only read it now after your reaction. I love your reactions. You are always so dignified and respectful.
My grandad was at Ypres 1915, also a cousin, in the Canadian forces. He was declared MIA 3 times, lost in the mud, was found and I suspect he went through the field hospital where surgeon John McCrae(died of pneumonia in 1918, a lieutenant colonel) wrote In Flanders Fields. My grandad list his left leg just below his hip, 90% of the use of his right arm(luckily was left handed). Invalided to England where he met my future grandmother. He was 19. Died early at 46, looked nearly 80.
Joel, I suspect I'm not the only one recommending "I was only 19 (A walk in the light green)", a song by Redgum. It's a similarly great and moving song, this time about ANZAC soldiers in Vietnam. There's a lot of references to specific places and events, so it's worthwhile looking up the context and meaning of the lyrics. Tissues handy is a good idea.
This song always brings me to tears. You need to check out Gallipoli, as it was such a tragedy. Anzac Day is so special to us Aussies and the kiwis. A truly heartfelt reaction thank you JP❤️
Thank you for your respectful coverage of the meaning of the song - most Veterans didn’t get the respect they deserved when they returned especially after the Vietnam War - they believed they went to fight to keep their country safe and free - that definitely deserves respect 👍🏻🇦🇺
Dulce et decorum est - Wilfred Owen [war poet] Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs, And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots, But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame, all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of gas-shells dropping softly behind. Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!-An ecstasy of fumbling Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time, But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime.- Dim through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams before my helpless sight He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin, If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, Bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,- My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.
Such a beautiful, yet heartbreaking song about our Veterans. They deserve every ounce of respect for their sacrifices. I hate wars as do most but I am so thankful to these brave men who fought so valiantly and endured so much. 🇦🇺 💞
Eric is a wonderful songwriter and an amazing storyteller. Just saw him in concert a week or so ago and loved it. He turns 80 this month, (September). Happy Birthday Eric!
It's a beautifully written song. Beautifully structured.. Australia's war past still has its effect on Australian society.. I'm 4th generation Australian, and it affected my family's mental health greatly.
Hey Joel, Beautiful to see your genuine heart. Appreciate your stance on war (what’s it for?) and respect for the veterans who fight. In the first verse he referenced 1915. This song was about the WW1 Australian Diggers who were sent to Gallipoli and, yes, were literally slaughtered. We have ANZAC Day on 25 April to commemorate our fallen from WW1 and subsequent wars. He’s a bit young to have been there so he does have his own legs. 🎉 My great uncle was killed at Gallipoli.
War. Glory? Courage? National pride? Necessity? Futility. Pain. Callous ingratitude. Repetition. Repetition. And songs that make that clear. I revere those who served and those who serve. Lest we forget.
I'm Australian and I literally have tears rolling down my face listening to this.,I agree with what you said at the end about war and Army Veterans, they are risking their lives for our countries and they deserve the respect
Gallipoli in World War I was the definition of hell of earth. The Allies were fighting not just the Turkish defenders, but the scorching weather, the terrain, and to make things even worse the mined water was undrinkable. It had to be imported which meant that the soldiers daily water ration was nowhere near enough for that environment.
It wasn't about being shamed. It was the horrendous damage done to sons and husbands.civilians had never seen that sort of damage done to humans before.
In case no-one has already mentioned, to "Waltz Matilda" is to be a Swagman. A Swagman is a traditional "tramp". Usually with just a bedroll on their back, or "swag" (bindle) on their shoulder. Edit: good on you for looking into it.
I reckon another really good war song/poem is 'In Flanders Fields'. Every single primary school student in Australia who was part of the schools choir will have sung that song on the ANZAC Day Assembly (April 25). It is an incredibly moving song especially hearing school choirs sing it.
My maternal grandfather was one of those "brave wounded heroes of Suvla", so this song ignites strong emotions in me. I recall 'Pop' as being about 10 feet taller than God with a shock of white hair on top, and when he was sick, we weren't allowed in to see him - but my older sister (about 9 years old at the time) finagled her way in to see Pop, on the condition that she wasn't to be naughty. After about 5 minutes (an eternity to a 9 year old) she told Pop she had to go now, because she had been a good girl for so long and had to go outside and be naughty. Pop passed away in 1963.
It is one of our great ballads about war. Another one is “I was only 19” Written by John Schuman-(Redgum) telling the story of friends who.d been in Vietnam. I’d love you to do a reaction to this song too. Cheers mate!
Learned this wonderful tune as a boy growing up on Magnetic Island and has stayed with me through my life as a soldier representing my country overseas and now my sons and daughters sing it with me…That’s Australia
Thanks for reacting to this song!! It's always emotional to listen to. You should listen to the song "Waltzing Matilda" which was played a little at the end of this song.
Very nostalgic 😊remembering those who fought for our freedom. Our fathers, Grandfathers, uncles. GOD bless them all. And those today who still fight for our freedom.
I'm an American woman and I have been a fan of Eric Bogle since I first heard him on the radio in the 1970's. Another favorite song of mine is Leaving The Land, sung by Mary Black. Another heart puller.
This is a tough one to react to. Thank You Jps. This is a very emotional song. And very well written. Also makes you think about the war, and what happened, but also makes you ask why. This is a sad, emotional, beautiful peace of art that tells a story of a piece of history. So, again Thank You. Next time you come across something emotional like this, don't fel bad if you need to pause to cry for a bit, we are doing the same thing watching your rection. Alos, we treat our vets pretty well here tbh, we are not America.
I’m not so sure about treating our veterans well. We certainly make a good effort, but I’m pretty sure that Australia has more homeless veterans per capita than the US. 5,800 vs 33,000
@@hellkat71 We have 5,800. How is that bigger than 33,000? What a dumb statement. Everyone knows US homeless retes are way higher. We are Australia, we look after our vets. Some people choose to be homeless and cannot be helped as they refuse it. But no, we do not have more than America. Learn Maths. 5,800 is way smaller than 33,000. Dip stick.
@@ozzybloke-craig3690 The USA has a population of 336 million. Australia’s is 26 million. As a percentage of the total population, 5,800 is much higher than 33,000. Do your maths. Dipstick!
@@hellkat71 I live in Vic, I’ve not seen any vets homeless, or at least not in my travels. I do know the RSL provides any service men who are finding it tough, I’ve seen a lot of Vietnam vets get provided help & support. Which is what the RSL is strictly for.
Then you wouldnt be aware that our veterans have to serve a minimum of 11 years in our armed forces before theyre eligible for even simple assistance to re-adjust to civilian life when they leave the service then? Or the extremely high suicide rate among our veterans? Im not sure that we're treating them "well", in fact, Id say we have a lot of work to do before we can claim that.
Many years ago I met an old (half drunk) digger in Hyde Park, Sydney and I always remember him saying with a teary eye, " I am here but my mates are not. I am here because THEY are NOT". Remember.
You should also check out Eric's "No Mans Land" often recorded by other artists as "The Green Fields of France". It was his first anti war song ccovering the same era.
I had a different song in my head when I read the title. It was not what I expected. It is beautiful and poignant and thought provoking. And I so appreciate that you are a young man of today, unashamed to show you have a tender heart and a sensitive soul. Thank you.
the song was about the Gallipoli landing in 1915 , during the 1st world war. The day this event is commemorated is on april 25th. and is called ANZAC day as it was a combined force of Astralian and New Zealand troops which were involved in fighting the Turks.
Few quick facts for you JPS. ANZAC units landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula on April 25th 1915. The goal was to take the Dardanelles Strait, allowing ships to threaten to bombard Constantinople which would have ultimately forced the Ottoman Empire to surrender. The operation was doomed to fail and 90% of the ground that was gained was made in the first 12 hours of the campaign. The next 8 odd months were spent in a blood bath stalemate. WWI is the highest casualty count of any conflict fought by Australians. 60,000 men were killed and over 150,000 were wounded or taken prisoner. 400,000 men enlisted in a population of roughly 4,500,000.
There is another version with video of the actual Anzac soldiers and showing a typical outback boy who "volunteered", and a later Anzac March, this one is recent! 🤗😪🇦🇺
This is what anti war songs should make you feel. As we seem to be sleep walking into global conflicts partly thanks to inept leaders in many countries, so many should listen to songs like this, most specifically our leaders that will never fight the wars they seem to be heading towards.
An incredibly poignant song/poem that I haven't heard before. Thank you for your introduction to it. You have a very mature stance on war and the treatment of veterans and I am in full agreement.
Respect to you, mate, from Australia. On behalf of my family, my great uncles and aunts, thanks for really hearing their story. SGT W.R.Looker (6th Bn, AIF, Gallipoli veteran, died of wounds after leg amputation, France 27 Nov 1916) LCPL F.K.Looker (22nd Bn, AIF, died of illness sustained at Gallipoli, 15 Nov 1915); SGT C.E.L.Young (Auckland Infantry Regiment, MIA 25 April 1915, commemorated at the Lone Pine Memorial) LT A.W.Looker DSO (wounded during trench raid, France, subsequently served Kings African Rifles) Sr M.E.Looker (No.1 Australian General Hospital, served Egypt and France) Three brothers, their sister and cousin.
April 25 today here in Australia. We all remember the sacrifice of both Australians and New Zealanders on ANZAC Day. A great song well sung. Thanks for sharing today.
As soon as I saw the title of this I know the importance. And what makes it so much more amazing is that someone in America like yourself can appreciate things like this on a human level. You videos are so good and I would love to see some American content sometime. 🇦🇺🇺🇲 And every April we remember WW1, and if you every wanted to react to our ANZAC Day memorial, it would be amazing. I had tears in my eyes by the end of this... Thank you.
my reaction to this song is that the stupidly feudal leaders who precipitated that war should have been tried for crimes against humanity...especially the young men who were fed into that meat-grinder. It proves the axiom: "War is the ultimate obscenity". And now we have that craven despot in Moscow engaging in it to fluff up his pathetic ego.
As a child I knew some of those damaged men from the Great War and WW2. I spent hours listening to their memories. I guess they only felt safe talking to a young child of 6+ years who listened without trying to comfort them as adults would. From those sacred conversations I learned that they marched in tribute to their fallen comrades. It was also the only way they allowed themselves to grieve. That one day a year helped them through the other 364. They were my mates and my heroes and the reason why I snuck out of the house every ANZAC Day to attend the dawn service with them. And when my brother chose to be a Conscienscous Objector to conscription for Vietnam I fully supported him though it would have meant prison for him. Luckily his call-up was cancelled as the war was ending.
The song waltzing Matilda is actually the offical march for the a division of the US marines. 1st MARDIV band. They played it at a birthday ceremony for George Washington and it became their official March after that.
ANZAC DAY is huge deal in Australia we pay our respects every year it’s a big in our family as we have a long history of family that have served and are serving plus the ones that paid the ultimate sacrifice so we can live in this amazing country of Australia. This song and I was only 19 get it played every year leading up too and on ANZAC DAY.. 😊🇦🇺🥰
Thank-you. My great grandfathers served in WWI, my grandfathers in WWII, my father in Vietnam, I served (non-deployed) and now my daughter serves. It's crushing to see what my forefathers suffered through.
I'm Australian and cry every time I hear this song. I went to Gallipoli for the Centenary in 2015 and this song was played a fair bit and I cried every single time. Great reaction.
I’m happy & relieved to say that present day ANZAC services & marches are well attended by younger generations of the veterans that served in WW1 & all other wars, including Vietnam. They will not be forgotten. My kids (young adults now) attend a dawn service with us every year without fail. We have family that served & it’s so important to remember those who defended & currently defend our country. Lest We Forget.
Yeah this is one of our cry songs. First time I heard it (do not judge me) was when a corporal played it solo on a relax night on my IET (initial employment training,) I was at the back of the tent with the sergeants, but not one of them said a word about my tears.
my old nxt door neighbor when I was a kid went to Galipoli , he was one of the few that came back. He was that old type of guy, full of duty and honor and respect, he was a real gentleman, he was a great guy, I wish I was older at the time and appreciated him more
You've done us proud by slim dusty. Anzac day and rememberence day in Australia grow I size and popularity in Australia every year. I hope no veteran feels forgotten. Lest we forget.
I tear up every time I hear Eric sing this ... BUT .. " A REASON FOR IT ALL" hits the heart strings about a woman who was left for over a year decaying in her home .. and nobody knew .. Its BRILLIANT and soul searching !! "Nobody's moggy" .. So Aussie and BRILLIANTLY FUNNY .. Eric Bogle is one of our unsung folkies [ Scottish by birth] such a great story teller !!!
My grandfather fought in north Africa and new Guinea was too young for ww1 too old for ww2 but lied about his age to serve. Never met the man but the stories have made me very proud to be his grandson!
My grandfather was a Gallipoli veteran as a Lt in 5th lighthouse, wounded after 10 weeks at Anzac, after recovering transferred to royal flying Corp in Middle East, survived war as captain/pilot
I’ve sung and played this song for years now. I’ve sung in front of groups and looked up and seen half the audience in tears….and it isn’t my singing that moves them.
I hope you still read comments on old stuff. I wanted to point you to Redgum’s song “Only 19”. It is about the Vietnam war. Incidentally, when the vets came home from WW1 and WW2, they were cheered. Every small town had a monument dedicated to their fallen in WW1 and those became the centre for wreaths every April 25th, ANZAC Day. It’s a national holiday with a bit of a twist. After all the vets have marched, the traditionally go to the RSL (Returned Services League) - like a club. They then play a game called ‘Two-Up’, which is actually illegal but allowed on one day a year. It’s played with 2 pennies and a piece of wood. People bet on whether the coins land heads or tails. We also have Remberance Day on November 11 at 11am. That was when the Armistace was signed ending WW1. We stop and stand for 2 minutes in silence to remember the fallen in all wars. The words we speak end with “Lest we forget”. Cheers
I have 2 sons. One still serving as a Submariner in the Royal Australian Navy(31 years+) and a younger son who served in the Royal Australian Air Force for 12 years and did 2 tours of Afghanistan. Fortunately he came back in one piece. He is now an Electronics Engineer at the Australian Submarine Corporation here in Perth.
