Thanks ... that is the site that first alerted me to the multi-lingual / cross-custom nature of what started as someone else's 'simple WW 2 song query - forwarded' ... to me!

It was a damned interesting insight into the mixed liguistic and cultural history of this song ... and the spur to track it down ... and see if we can get this piece of really Aussie history into our own "folk music'... and share the Ambonese pride in the valour of one of our 'Aussie' warriors!
