ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day song

'Can You Hear Australia's Heroes Marching?' is a national war memorial
song and a tribute to the ANZAC spirit of mateship, courage and sacrifice.



Over 100,000 Australians have lost their lives in the service and defence of our country.    Along with their
mates, they're marching once again, in the towns and cities, across our great land.

The song is timeless and honours the memory of those who have died in the service and defence of Australia
in war.

 The marching theme of the song is especially powerful and supports the spirit of ANZAC Day.  The song
does not glorify war or endorse conflict of any kind. The song simply highlights the sacrifice of many Australians
who died in the service and defence of our country in war.

The song has been used for commemorative purposes across Australia by schools, churches, choirs,
bands, councils, retirement homes, military services, RSL branches and ANZAC tributes at NRL & AFL
matches.  The author allows the song to be used for free for commemorative purposes.

Companies and businesses have asked to use the song leading up to (or on) ANZAC Day. For instance,
stores have asked to have it played over their in-store sound system leading up to ANZAC Day.  A mining
company asked to use the song for their commemorative service. The author of the song allows the song to be
used at no cost if a company or business wants to use it leading up to (or on) ANZAC Day for commemorative
purposes.

 Radio stations throughout Australia have broadcast the song leading up to ANZAC Day and Remembrance
Day.

The song is also requested to be played at funerals (for veterans).
Many Australians who lost their lives in war weren't thinking they could save the world or defeat evil regimes.
As in the trenches of France, and the patrols in Vietnam, or on the Kokoda Track, Australians were looking
after their mates alongside them.  Many Australian veterans march on ANZAC Day in memory of their mates
left behind, and the ones that have passed on before them.  A recent Australian casualty of war, SAS soldier
Sergeant Matthew Locke, was more concerned about looking after his mates than fearing for his life. Sergeant
Locke, who died after being shot in the chest during a firefight with Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, told a
reporter that "looking after the blokes with you" was his key responsibility.
