Advertisement Music and song is an important element of human endeavor and interaction. Whether at times of celebration or times of sadness, we all can be touched by an appropriate tune or song. A time of war is no different. And during some of the darkest moments in the Greek Campaign of 1941, soldiers felt the need to join in song as they faced yet another challenge. Across April and May this year we are commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Greek campaign. This is the story of two songs from the Hellenic link to Anzac in 1941. I have written previously of the end of the Greek campaign from mainland Greece, the story of how the Allied troops were evacuated to Crete and Egypt. Amongst the thousands of Allied soldiers were two Australians whose campaign experience would include the two songs.
