'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.
New
website for the song at http://www.australianwarheroes.com
You can link
to the
new website for the song or tell others about it. The success of the
song meant
it was
necessary to create a domain that was unique to the song and gave it a
permanent home
on the Internet. The song has over a
million hits
online with this website, YouTube, and
other
websites that include the song. Take a look at the
new website.
This website started
back in the mid 90s, well before Google was even thought of. In
the
beginning it was a website Peter Barnes put
together for
info about his
Adelaide
advertising/
marketing business.
If you want a business or organisation easily found on search engines
like Google with the keywords you want, then take a look at the
websites at Be Found Online
and Find Business Online and Found
Online There are also capital city websites like
Sydney, Melbourne Victoria, Darwin Northern
Territory and Brisbane Queenland for
business or organisations. Since
2001 the war heroes song has
taken
over more and more of
this website. As the website is now old, and image wise, out
of date,
it was necessary to
create a website for the song independent of this one. The
website is
kept alive today, mainly
because it still gets a lot of visitors looking for the song.
BRAND
NEW: It is nearly ten years since the creation of the song and
now you can hear an
instrumental recording of the music here at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLgnHSudpyY

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.
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).
