June-Tabor - Anthology

"And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" Is A Song Written By Scottish-Born Singer-Songwriter Eric Bogle In 1971. The Song Describes The Futility Gruesome Reality And The Destruction Of War While Criticising Those Who Seek To Glorify It. This Is Exemplified In The Song By The Account Of A Young Australian Soldier On His Maiming At The Battle Of Gallipoli In The First World War. In 1915 Australian And New Zealander Soldiers Formed Part Of An Allied Expedition That Set Out To Capture The Gallipoli Peninsula According To A Plan By Winston Churchill To Open The Way To The Black Sea For The Allied Navies. The Objective Was To Capture Constantinople The Capital Of The Ottoman Empire Which Was An Ally Of Germany During The War. The ANZAC Force Landed At Gallipoli On 25 April Meeting Fierce Resistance From The Ottoman Army Commanded By Mustafa Kemal Later Known As Atatürk . What Had Been Planned As A Bold Strike To Knock The Ottomans Out Of The War Quickly Became A Stalemate And The Campaign Dragged On For Eight Months. At The End Of 1915 The Allied Forces Were Evacuated After Both Sides Had Suffered Heavy Casualties And Endured Great Hardships. The Allied Casualties Included 21 255 From The United Kingdom An Estimated 10 000 From France 8 709 From Australia 2 721 From New Zealand And 1 358 From British India. News Of The Landing At Gallipoli Made A Profound Impact On Australians And New Zealanders At Home And 25 April Quickly Became The Day On Which They Remembered The Sacrifice Of Those Who Had Died In War. Though The Gallipoli Campaign Failed To Achieve Its Military Objectives Of Capturing Constantinople And Knocking The Ottoman Empire Out Of The War The Actions Of The Australian And New Zealander Troops During The Campaign Bequeathed An Intangible But Powerful Legacy. The Creation Of What Became Known As An "Anzac Legend" Became An Important Part Of The National Identity In Both Countries. This Has Shaped The Way Their Citizens Have Viewed Both Their Past And Their Understanding Of The Present. The Song Is Often Praised For Its Haunting Imagery Of The Devastation At Gallipoli. The Protagonist A Rover Before The War In The Story Loses His Legs In The Battle And Later Notes The Passing Of Other Veterans With Time As Younger Generations Become Apathetic To The Veterans And Their Cause. The Song Incorporates The Melody And A Few Lines Of Lyrics Of "Waltzing Matilda" At Its Conclusion. In May 2001 The Australasian Performing Right Association APRA As Part Of Its 75th Anniversary Celebrations Named "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" As One Of The Top 30 Australian Songs Of All Time. Jane Herivel From The Channel Islands Had Heard Bogle Sing The Song At The 1974 Australian National Folk Festival In Brisbane And Requested Bogle To Send Her A Recording. She Sang It At A Festival In The South Of England Where June Tabor Heard It And Later Recorded It.

"And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is a song, written by Scottish-born singer-songwriter Eric Bogle in 1971. The song describes the futility, gruesome reality and the destruction of war, while criticising those who seek to glorify it. This is exemplified in the song by the account of a young Australian soldier on his maiming at the Battle of Gallipoli in the First World War. In 1915, Australian and New Zealander soldiers formed part of an Allied expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli Peninsula, according to a plan by Winston Churchill to open the way to the Black Sea for the Allied navies. The objective was to capture Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, which was an ally of Germany during the war. The ANZAC force landed at Gallipoli on 25 April, meeting fierce resistance from the Ottoman Army commanded by Mustafa Kemal (later known as Atatürk). What had been planned as a bold strike to knock the Ottomans out of the war quickly became a stalemate, and the campaign dragged on for eight months. At the end of 1915, the Allied forces were evacuated after both sides had suffered heavy casualties and endured great hardships. The Allied casualties included 21,255 from the United Kingdom, an estimated 10,000 from France, 8,709 from Australia, 2,721 from New Zealand and 1,358 from British India. News of the landing at Gallipoli made a profound impact on Australians and New Zealanders at home and 25 April quickly became the day on which they remembered the sacrifice of those who had died in war. Though the Gallipoli campaign failed to achieve its military objectives of capturing Constantinople and knocking the Ottoman Empire out of the war, the actions of the Australian and New Zealander troops during the campaign bequeathed an intangible but powerful legacy. The creation of what became known as an "Anzac legend" became an important part of the national identity in both countries. This has shaped the way their citizens have viewed both their past and their understanding of the present. The song is often praised for its haunting imagery of the devastation at Gallipoli. The protagonist, a rover before the war, in the story loses his legs in the battle, and later notes the passing of other veterans with time, as younger generations become apathetic to the veterans and their cause. The song incorporates the melody and a few lines of lyrics of "Waltzing Matilda" at its conclusion. In May 2001 the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA), as part of its 75th Anniversary celebrations, named "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" as one of the Top 30 Australian songs of all time. Jane Herivel from the Channel Islands had heard Bogle sing the song at the 1974 Australian National Folk Festival in Brisbane and requested Bogle to send her a recording. She sang it at a festival in the south of England where June Tabor heard it and later recorded it. Read more on Last.fm.
