Weirdly I coincedently listened/ watched both on You Tube yesterday. Both brought tears to the eyes (although I never served, was one who missed the birthday draft.)
Edit: The Eric Bogle one I saw was pretty 'clean' although still live, maybe different occasion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnFzCmAyOp8 PS. your link takes me to a livelier version by John Williamson??

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcXzdq9kMw0 Lang Last edited by Lang; 08-04-19 at 13:23.

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.)
There is a You Tube version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsTkaAWPCb4
