No, the Op was probably a lot closer on posts one and two.

How very dare you.

Stan Ridgway - Camouflage. Such a great singer and songwriter, he was in that Wall of Voodoo too.

Cold Chisel - Khe Sanh. (Not strictly a war song- more about the aftermath (Vietnam). Practically an Aussie national anthem and cracking song too).

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

A surprising omission, & quite a brilliant song

The Fureys - The Green Fields Of France

I like the version by The Men They Couldn't Hang
John Peel once stated that it was the barely suppressed anger in the song that he liked

Mike Harding can make you laugh till tears run, but he can be sombre as well
Have a listen

Based on Dalton Trumbo " Johnny got his gun"
