I can't pist a link since I'm on my phone but one of my favourite commemoration songs is "the band played Waltzing Matilda".

Worth looking up.

Silly me, the song I posted isn't Waltzing Matilda, but Willie McBride....both lovely songs.

Same artist wrote the songs.

My Favourite WW1 poem:

Base Details
Siegfried Sassoon
If I were fierce, and bald, and short of breath
I'd live with scarlet Majors at the Base,
And speed glum heroes up the line to death.
You'd see me with my puffy petulant face,
Guzzling and gulping in the best hotel,
Reading the Roll of Honour. "Poor young chap,"
I'd say — "I used to know his father well;
Yes, we've lost heavily in this last scrap."
And when the war is done and youth stone dead,
I'd toddle safely home and die — in bed.

The war in which every country involved was the bad guy.
