  • Thank you. A most appropriate song for this holiday and excellent performance too.

  • "Yes Well Done Ben", a very poignant song, a big hit in it's day in the Land Down Under, my long departed father, a WW2 Returned Vet enjoyed this song, as I, a Vietnam Vet also do, I also hope and trust that your country's "Memorial Day" gets the same recognition and respect that our "Anzac Day" does in the land of Aus'
