And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda
And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda | Eric Bogle, Bruce Whatley
1 post | 2 read
But the band played 'Waltzing Matilda' when we stopped to bury our slain. We buried ours, and the Turks buried theirs; then we started all over again. Eric Bogle's famous and familiar Australian song about the Battle of Gallipoli explores the futility of war with haunting power. Now Bruce Whatley's evocative illustrations bring a heart-rending sense of reality to the tale. A timely story for every generation to share.

#FebruaryFeels Day 18: As I read this book, it struck me that war is the greatest illness of all, damaging not just the physical body but the human spirit. The images in this book are powerful, marked with sparse text. Yet it is not sparing in its horrifying account of how war ravages people inside and out showing how #WarIsHell.
