According to Ross Herbert :

[ ... ]

In Australia 11/11 is also known as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day.
This year, the 87th anniversary was the first year at which no
surviving Australian combat veteran was left alive to remember the
day. In October this year the last of the diggers passed away at the
age of 106.

Sigh -- I knew that this day was coming.

Eric Bogle has his epitaph to soldiers of the first world war here
http://www.screensound.gov.au/screen...0?OpenDocument

Just look for Eric Bogle version called "And The Band Played Waltzing
Matilda" on the page and download/play it.

No need to do so. I'm quite familiar with the song, and his
singing. (And this was one of the songs which he *wrote*. And it
contained a line which predicted this day.

Sigh,
DoN.
