I'm an old Army guy who knows almost nothing about the Navy. But I do know that the Marine Corps' First Division has,as its unofficial "anthem",Waltzing Matilda.I've read that is to show gratitude for the friendship that the Australian people showed the Marines during WWII.

Although it might be unusual I can fully support this...as another sign of the deep friendship between the US and Australia.

The 128th Infantry of the 32nd Infantry Division (Wisconsin Army National Guard) adopted “Waltzing Matilda” as its marching music after its experience in Australia, New Guinea and Luzon in World War II.

I proudly marched to it as a young soldier…many, many years ago.
