Bob Rummery put a tune to Ian Mudie's poem about Australian soldiers in New Guinea in WW2.

NEW GUINEA CAMPAIGN
(Mudie/Rummery)

Are you there, Peter Lalor, are you there?
Ghost with gold-dust in your hair
And lean Stuart do you ride to seek your northern tide?
Where in greens they're slowly swinging
Through the mud, too tired for singing
Where the poison of New Guinea fills the ai

Are you there, untiring Eyre, are you there?
With your heart beyond compare
Are you there, you brave wild Kellys where heroes on their bellies
Through the jungle now are creeping
May their women have no weeping
When snipers from their tree-tops cruelly stare?

You ghosts that walk beside
Do you watch them now with pride?
As through green hell and glory, they carry on your story
Where in mud their feet are sinking
And in dreams they're always thinking
Of their homes and of the cobbers who have died

--Stewie.
