I don’t think it’s right to just let ANZAC Day go by without acknowledging it. It’s not just another day. It’s a day for us all to pause and remember those who lost our life fighting for the freedom that we take for granted, and the ones who came back but were never the same.
I’ve done it in the past by posting “I Was Only 19” and “The Band Played Waltzing Matilda”. This year I needed to dig a little deeper, and it saw me discovering this song, “Gallipoli Rosemary” by Mick Thomas. The Weddings Parties Anything singer has always had such a gift for songwriting. This song might never have achieved mainstream attention but it’s still strong, imbued with the emotion fitting for a track recorded on ANZAC Day a couple of years.
Lest we forget.
