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).
