With so many governments calling for war, this should be played at every occasion because things haven't changed. I think this song is best sung by young girls, warning foolish young men what war is really about. About dying in a foreign field, sometimes taking days to die....calling for their mother.

[Kolohe]

I've heard several versions of this song and this is, by far, the best.

Tribute to the songwriter....a Scotsman who lived in Adelaide after leaving Scotland,
THANK YOU ERIC BOGLE for this and many great songs.

These ladies did your song proud with this beautiful rendition.

Very beautifully sung. There was passion and soul. Can't ask for better.

[Kissgergaviga]

Beautiful, brought tears to my eyes. A lovely version from the rough voices of the Fureys.

I had a good friend pass away one week ago. He was younger than I who is 48. His funeral is on Sunday and I am crushed with grief. This is one of the most beautiful renditions of this song I have ever heard. I first heard a version of this song when I was 17 and my best friend was murdered in front of me, he was only 18. After a fight with gang bangers in Milwaukee Wisconsin he was shot in the back and the bullet ripped his aorta. He bled and died in my arms. Because it was a shooting when we raced his body to the nearest hospital the police that showed were harsh and we did not corporate they hand cuffed us and we got beaten down when they officially announced he was dead. Anyway my Irish Brother who is being honored this Sunday loved this song in life and would of loved your version. Thank you. 💙😢

The best rendition of the classic Green Fields of France I have heard. One of the most tragic songs ever written, delivered with passion and power. Truly a jewel in the Saffyre Tiara.

[Rotorhead]

I am in tears. Apart from the changes in the lyrics, a great version. You young ladies have every right to be proud of your performance. Bravo. 😢💔

This is one of the most beautiful renditions of this song I have ever heard and there have been many. As an Army veteran and son of a WWII Veteran it always brings be tears when I hear it. It is a beautiful song of war, the indifference of man, the comraderie of warriors (Like those men from the US, Britain, Germany as well as many other countries) and in "no mans land" during lulls in battle and the sadness of war and how we keeping fighting wars that mainly kill young men and future generations. This group of ladies are a truly and beautiful and talented singing group who deserve our thanks for such a respectful rendition of this song that honors men and women heroes from all wars. The "Flowers of the Forest" was and is played at funerals such as that for Prince Phillip this year, no words are needed, just the sound of bagpipes. This song was played at my Mother in Laws funeral, she was 91 and a wonderful Irish lady, how fitting. Here husband was a WW II Navy veteran.
