Yep, Bogle is great. He does do quite a few WW1 songs; another one is "As if he knows" about the soldiers of the Light-Horse having to shoot each others horse before returning to Australia.
Also "Green Fields of France" is not the name of the bogle song, but a name used by many of the acts that have covered it. The real name is No Mans Land.
Last time I seen him live, he saved and the band played waltzing matilda till last, the audience was absolutely silent, very emotional and weepy.
