been
humming the tune ever since."
have to say that it is a wonderful tribute
"Last
Sunday, the Brisbane Broncos
played the Penrith Panthers at Suncorp
Stadium in a round 7 NRL
match. The match
including the ceremony was shown live on Fox Sports. At 2.25pm there
was a
special Anzac tribute
and
your wonderful song was played as the special guests, match officials and
both teams entered the stadium. They walked on in staggered starts escorted by Army service
personnel to the music and it
was absolutely wonderful. They all lined up in one line and the 'toss'
was performed
by an 85 yr old POW veteran. The Qld Premier with match referee and both team
captains. The
Qld President of the RSL read
the Ode and a Navy bugler played the Last Post. It was
a very moving
few
minutes and everyone loved it. You should be very
proud of your song.
Thanks
again for permitting us to use the
song. I have played it
probably 30 times over the last month. It
moves me
every time, the words are
reflective of our appreciation for these men &
women."

*The
song was requested to be used
again for the ANZAC tribute
in the 2007 round 7 NRL match when the
Brisbane
Broncos
played
Melbourne
Storm. This was the third time the song has been requested
to be
played by the Brisbane Broncos for their ANZAC tribute.
It was also used in 2004 and 2006. The song was
used as part of the ANZAC tribute in the
2008 round 7 NRL match between
the Brisbane Broncos and the
South Sydney Rabbitohs on ANZAC Day, 25
April, at Suncorp Stadium.
Canberra. I took numerous pictures there as well
of other places I visited while
in your country. I've
been putting my pictures, along with background musical tracks,
up on my website as podcasts. As I
worked on the pictures of
the War Memorial, I
looked for appropriate music to accompany it and
found your
song. I would like to know if
you would give me permission to use 'Can You Hear
Australia's Heroes
Marching?' as background
to the pictures of the Australian War Memorial?
It would be
the perfect music to
underscore the pictures."
