A 2nd Australian anti-war song, again with a subtle message, like yesterdays. From 1969, this is more obviously commenting on the Vietnam war. It was, I read, written by Johnny Young (yes, of Young Talent Time) about his mate and fellow singer, Normie Rowe. Rowe had been sent "off to the Asian War". To be fair, some sources say "inducted" others say "drafted". So I'm not 100% sure. But here's Ronnie Burns with this heartfelt song.
