Description :

Fewer songs were published in Australia during the Second World War. Paper was scarce, songwriters were less prevalent than during WWI and the popularity of the radio and overseas sound recordings all played a part.
Popular Australian patriotic music from this period includes Just a Brown Slouch Hat (1942) by comedian George Wallace, Wake up! Wake up! Australia (1942) by Alfred Hill and V for Victory (1941) by South Australian Peter Dawson.
