"...I never knew there were worse things than dyin'..."

There are quite a few versions of this on YouTube. I thought the one by Liam Clancy was more powerful and moving, but this one has great graphics.

This is dedicated to all Veterans and especially those who were killed and irrevocably damaged in unnecessary wars and campaigns like Gallipoli and Bush's Oil War.

This is a look at things to come via a look at the past.

A song about a young Australian soldier maimed during the Battle of Gallipoli (1915) during the First World War; written by Eric Bogle in 1972. The paintings of Degas, Sargent, and the visual arts of Spadecaller, augment the song's theme.
