I'm sitting here listening to the author, John Schumann & his brother-in-law, Mick Storan, who Was Only 19 as they talk about the genesis of this song.

Everytime I stop crying, they say something else, or play a line from the song, & I start again, it's one of the best docos I've ever heard.

I remember watching the man walk on the moon, but strangely enough I don't remember the battle of Long Tan (sp?)
