Corporal Matthew Creek of the Royal Military College Band plays The Last Post at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra. The Last Post is one of a number of bugle calls in military tradition that mark the phases of the day. In military tradition, the Last Post is the bugle call that signifies the end of the day’s activities. It is also sounded at military funerals to indicate that the soldier has gone to his final rest and at commemorative services such as ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day.

Having had our ANZAC Day commemorations and memorials this past Monday, I felt inspired to pay my own tribute to our brave ANZAC’s, including both of my Great Grandfather’s. Sadly, neither of them made it home. To those who served then and to those who serve now, I thank you. Here is my rendition of The Last Post.

      As it happens, I read a great deal deal about the Second World War at the library of St. Aloysius College in Galle in the immediate post-war years [without comprehending the sufferings therein]. THEN, when teaching in the Dept of Anthropology Adelaide University in the 1980s, Prof Kapferer led several of us to research the “ANZAC LEGEND” and Anzac Day.

      I have visited Gallipoli and the poignancyof “The Last Post” always grabs my heart.” …. Michael Roberts
