And getting back to the subject of thread, does anyone have any good information on songs of the Australian anti-conscription movement? The web has a lot of information on the movement itself which refers to songs, but I'm not finding much in the way of lyrics themselves.Also, here are a few interesting sites I stumbled across when I went out looking for anti-conscription songs. Most don't have music content, but I thought might be of interest here in the thread.
