This song and Billy Joel's "Goodnight Saigon" make me cry everydamn time.

Yeah, that one gets me too.

Definitely one that brings a tear to the eye, and a lump to the throat. As does ( ... )

You beat me to posting that one, by a long shot, since I'm still way behind. Both songs have been known to make me sob.

One of the sadest songs I know. I just hate that most people have no idea what it's about or confuse it with "Waltzing Matilda."

Now I wish I had a recording of it.

I play this for my students when we talk about World War I. It is a very sad and powerful song, and sadly most people don't know the sacrifice that Austraila and New Zealand made for the British during the war. It always seems to be left out of the history books.
