Australian war heroes song.

Can You Hear Australia's Heroes Marching? is a national war memorial song and a tribute to the ANZAC spirit of mateship, courage, and sacrifice.

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.

Schools and students frequently ask to use this song in projects and commemorative ceremonies.
Radio stations throughout Australia have broadcast the song leading up to ANZAC Day and
Remembrance Day. The song is also requested to be played at funerals (for veterans).

"I thought the music was a modern reflection on Australia's war dead... As a Vietnam veteran I would have to say that it is a wonderful tribute to all who have fallen." Edmund 'Ted' Harrison

"I am taking a funeral tomorrow of a Vietnam Vet who died last week of cancer. The family would like to use your song... I am asking for permission to use it at the funeral." E-mail from a Reverend

"Congratulations on your very professionally presented song, 'Can You Hear Australia's Heroes
Marching?' It is most patriotic, stirring and respectfully thought provoking." Major General Peter Phillips AO MC (Retd) National President of the RSL

This year, as in the past five years, the song has been used for commemorative purposes across
Australia by schools, churches, choirs, bands, councils, retirement homes and RSL branches. This
year we also received requests for the song to be used for commemorative purposes by businesses,
for example, a mining company. The song was also used for ANZAC tributes at NRL & AFL matches.
