Australian War Heroes Song - 'Can You Hear Australia's Heroes Marching?'

The Australian War Heroes Song is a national war memorial song and a tribute to the ANZAC spirit of mateship, courage and sacrifice.

Over 100,000 Australians have lost their lives in the service and defence of our country. Along with their mates, they’re marching once again, in the towns and cities, across our great land.

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.

The song has been used for commemorative purposes across Australia by schools, churches, choirs, bands, councils, retirement homes, military services, radio stations, RSL branches, and ANZAC tributes at NRL and AFL matches.

The song has been very popular for school children and students in primary and secondary schools to use for commemorative purposes.

The song has also been requested to be played at veteran funerals.

The YouTube Channel for the song has close to 4 million video views, with most viewing videos relating to the popular song.

The song is suitable for ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day.

The global aspect of the internet allowed many people from other countries to hear the song. For instance, some years ago a publishing house in Norway asked for the song.
 
“The Norwegian publishing house Aschehoug is about to publish a new series of English schoolbooks for 8-10th grade in the Norwegian market. In this new series, called Key English, we want to make use of the song ‘Can You Hear Australia’s Heroes Marching?'”
