As an Aussie with no military experience. I will be going straight too the army as soon as they need me!

Australia needs real men like.these Great.diggers that had real values.and.morals real men .❤️
Unfortunately different era. People just generally had respect for each other.
You know them do you ?

Wonder where they ended up? Tobruk? El Alamein? Up the soft underbelly of Italy?
HI. This force of 8000 men included the 18th Brigade including my late grandfather with the 2/9th Battalion. They were kept in Britain due to the the threat of German invasion. They were then sent to Libya and stopped the Germans at Tobruk and endured the siege for five months. They then went Syria and to the Pacific and inflicted the first land full-scale defeat of the Japanese at Milne Bay. Many of them died at Buna, Sanananda, the Battle of Shaggy Ridge, and most shamefully and sadly in the pointless battles at Balikpapan two months before the atom bombs were dropped.
Was anzio soft ? Casino ?
I'd hate to see what was bloody hard
I know this is an old comment, but I thought I should add. Australian infantry did not fight in Italy, Australian Airmen did participate in the invasion though. By that time Prime Minister Curtin withdrew Australians from the Mediterranean to fight in the pacific due to the real threat of Japanese invasion of Australia. Hope that helps :)
Nice singing.
A fine lot of men with cool hats.
0:39 Have a day with the Ni-
Love the Aussies. My pop known as the mad major in Burma fought with a of load of Aussies in the desert as he was the only Brit who had the balls for them and they were always spoken of with the greatest affection and respect from him. He wasn't keen on the Yanks and despised Monty. Every now and again I see him in the odd pathe news and fill up with pride to have had such a decent bloke for my father. You all , God forbid, do it again. Don't know about Britain though, the Nation is alot softer and self entitled with the old timers and their ilk nowadays being in the minority .
Sorry for typos. Getting a bit long in the tooth and not 100 percent on this modern tech stuff.
Not surprising everyone hated the yanks, utmost respect to your pop. Takes some grit to keep up with us 😂. God bless him.
I thought that the Aussie Diggers' were singing, the Dog sat on the Tucker box five miles from Gundagi?
The cold steel, that's the only thing that'll win the day. They don't like it up 'em, they don't like it up em!!
Imagine ,Some of these men my own father & so many more spent nearly six years fighting from the deserts of Africa to the jungles of New Guinea, Borneo,then Korea ,Vietnam,,& their fathers having fought in WW1,the war to end all wars as it was called ,,,,,Lest We Forget🇦🇺🌷
Look at them fine young men None of them no GM0 foods or any of the other toxic stuff that they put the in the water and our food these days
Aussies are like texans, tough as nails.
I am, you are, we are Australian.
Unfortunately, we don’t have many men with the grit, spirit ,determination, and loyalty these days.These diggers came from the Bush and the back streets of the city and grew up hard.They came from British, Irish, Scottish,welsh and European stock. The youth of today as had too much of the good life, and happy for others to do the job of protecting them. Nam was the last lot to stand up and be counted with pride.Todays Immigrant for the most part have little or no allegiance
to Australia and won’t put their hand up, if called to do so. Compulsory is the only way to Sort them out. Serve or leave!
Hess parachuted in Scotland with a letter for the king. The rest is history
Yeah it said "Don't send the Aussies they scare Adolf," signed Dr Joseph Göbbels
@@kevnwarriner8819, spot on, lol.
How did two guys bring a violin and one a trumpet 🎺😎😂
0:39 what did he say 💀😭
Diggers
We used to be a real nation once
If only they seen the country as it is today. They would've dropped their guns and walked away.
I don't think so. Australia is going well
@@chrisbuesnell3428 we are a joke now. I promise you they would hate we've become
It was a culture and Generation we will never see again. These blokes would never recognise the Australia of today. The values have changed, for the worse, and our society has become divided and characterless. My father, who fought in New Guinea would be dismayed at what Australia has become.
My father, uncles, great uncles, and grandfather were all from my family. They served overseas. What would they think? Today, the current generation has not faced a war on the scale of the two world wars. Maybe they will stand up and be counted if Australia was threatened.
