AMERICAN TRIBUTE TO AUSTRALIAN SOLDIERS

Composed  by   Lieutenant  John H. Myers,   of   the  U.S. Army ,  this  march , dedicated  to  the Australian   Infantry Forces,  was played  on every commercial  radio station on  Anzac Day  1943 . The  rousing   chorus  is  as  follows:

From Australian plains to the English hills,

And the wind swept shores of Bengazi,

From Timor swamps to Egyptian sands march the men of the A.I.F

From the  jungles of New Guinea to the ratholes of Tobruk.

They are on their way to Victory in the name of the A.I.F.

In the air and on the seven seas and the fields of every land .

They will fight their way to Victory .

In the name of the A.I.F.
