The late Wellington musician Kevin Hawkins (The Amps, Shoes This High, Fishschool) was an extra in this advert; he's the one on the left at 0.24

Probably my favorite NZ ad ever.

PS: I am biased about Jacqui singing it because she is my sister and still lives in Auckland NewZealand - retired and focussed on an Art career after getting her Batchelor of Arts a Elim at the tender age of 50 something a few years ago!

They should get Jacqui FitzGerald to Sing it again - because she has an amazing voice. Film the ad with the soldier using newer technology i.e.: an iPhone.

My brother Kevin James Hawkins is one of the young soldiers in this ad. He is sitting in a jeep and smiles at a soldier to his left and then puts his head down on his arm. Great ad. Sadly, Kevin and most of the actors in this advertisement have now passed away.
