Can you hear Australia's heroes marching?
A national war memorial song and a tribute to the ANZAC spirit of mateship, courage and sacrifice.
Gallipoli Campaign 1915
Over 8,000 Australian soldiers died in the Gallipoli campaign, and even though the campaign was a failure, the ANZAC legend was formed.
Australia was a young nation and the courage and character shown by Australians at Gallipoli was quickly recognised and honored back home.
The Battle of Gallipoli resonated profoundly among all nations involved. ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Day is commemorated in Australia and New Zealand (2,721 New Zealand soldiers died at Gallipoli). The battle is often considered to mark the birth of the national consciousness of each nation, replacing their former collectivised identity under the British Empire.
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.
