A Batalha de Remagen, foi uma batalha de 18 dias durante a invasão aliada da Alemanha na Segunda Guerra Mundial de 7 a 25 de março de 1945,

quando as forças americanas capturaram inesperadamente a ponte Ludendorff sobre o Reno intacta. Eles foram capazes de segurá-lo contra a oposição alemã e construir travessias temporárias adicionais. A presença de uma ponte sobre o Reno avançou em três semanas a travessia planejada dos Aliados Ocidentais do Reno para o interior da Alemanha. Essa batalha gerou pelo menos 990 vítimas, e destruiu mais de 30 tanques The Commonwealth of Australia was proclaimed on 1 January 1901 as a federation of six self-governing former British colonies. The human history of Australia, however, commences with the arrival of the first ancestors of Aboriginal Australians from Maritime Southeast Asia between 50,000 and 65,000 years ago, and continues to the present multicultural democracy.

Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste Am G F C [Verse 1] C Dm He was born in Powell Creek, about 1894, G F C A true son of the territory, he was taken by the law. Dm Fathered by a station owner, baptised by the whites, G F C Taken from his mother, to make the whole thing right. Dm They moved to South Australia, and he learned to read and write, G F C And in May of 1915, he enlisted for the fight. Dm He's a blackfella ANZAC, in a war across the sea, G F C And he's fighting for Australia so its people could be free. Dm Serving a country where he couldn't even vote, G F C They turned a blind eye for him to line up for the boat. Dm And while he couldn't drink with whites, and he never questioned why? G F C He was good enough to fight, and to sail away and die. [Chorus] Am G F C Blackfella ANZAC, white enough to take, G F C And he's white enough to risk his life, and die to save his mates Am G F C Blackfella ANZAC, thanks for what you gave, G F C But I wish you were remembered, the bravest of the brave [Verse 2] Dm Well four years in the First World War, he was lucky to survive, G F C His machine gun crew all gone, he's the only one alive. Dm Then a second crew of mates, all battle scarred and worn, G F C And again for no good, they all too were gone. Dm And god he must have suffered for his mates to die that way, G F C There was no black or white, he just got to stay. Dm So Fred he'd seen some battles in a long and bloody war, G F C And I wonder if he thought he'd need to even up the score. Dm cuz' the POSI years in France, they stared death in the face, G F C They called for volunteers for a maddened, desperate race. Dm Across the open country to accept his rightful fate, G F C Then to bring the ammo back, well he didn't hesitate [Chorus] Am G F C Blackfella ANZAC, he's white enough to take, G F C And he's white enough to risk his life, and die to save his mates Am G F C Blackfella ANZAC, thanks for what you gave, G F C But I wish you were remembered, the bravest of the brave [Verse 3] Dm Well he sent the bravery medal home, but it's lost out on the sea, G F C And don't suppose it matters for what would have to be. Dm For back home in Australia, he was just a half-caste black, G F C Who travelled round the country from war to hell and back. Dm And he ended up in Katherine, where he died alone and poor, G F C And the copper made the comment, he said he went to war. [Chorus] Am G F C Blackfella ANZAC, he's white enough to take, G F C And he's white enough to risk his life, and die to save his mates Am G F C Blackfella ANZAC, thanks for what you gave, G F C But I wish you were remembered, the bravest of the brave [Verse 4] Dm So here's to Frederick Prentice, he's a hero of the war, G F C His name's not on the Cenotaph in Darwin that's for sure. Dm No military funeral, it was just the two of us, G F C A gravedigger, a copper and only dust to dust. Dm But a true son of the territory and the ANZAC lives he saved, G F C But you lie asleep in Katherine in an unmarked grave [Chorus] Am G F C Blackfella ANZAC, and he's white enough to take, G F C And he's white enough to risk his life, and die to save his mates Am G F C Blackfella ANZAC, thanks for what you gave, G F C But I wish you were remembered, the bravest of the brave. Am G F C And you lie asleep in Katherine in an unmarked grave
