Absolutely right about John Williamson. I must have pressed the save link after Eric Bogle's rendition had finished and Youtube ratcheted to the next clip. Just as good. I will leave mine up and yours, while pretty morbid, gives Eric's words.

To give Eric Bogle a more upbeat reputation here is a song - absolutely nothing to do with military vehicles, but it is about trucks, and I have heard it sung in an Officers Mess - that I love to play for cat lovers.

Equally poignant is the medley of the Last Post with Waltzing Matilda. I first heard it played at the funeral of a mate (a former bandsman.) I then tracked it down to a compilation CD of Macca's, by I think the 3MD band (they did just the one song amongst a heap of other artists.)
