  • 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.

    At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the guns fell silent on the Western Front.

      William Brightwell I agree that ANZAC day is for both countries, as you said, that's what the corp is made from, but I believe the last post is played in many military in other countries too. Who does not like the last post, obviously, has no respect for what it stands for, and also, does not have any appreciation to music itself. Playing the (trumpet) bugel is not a piece of cake.

    Today's politicians sometimes make nationalist statements, but as a Turk, I can say that we are aware of the difficult conditions both Turkish and Anzac soldiers fought and sacrificed in the war in Gallipoli, and we share the same pain. Finally, I would like to share the message that Atatürk, the founder of democratic and secular Turkey, sent to the family of Anzac soldiers: " Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives ... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours ... You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well."

      This eulogy by Atatürk has, yet again, brought tears to my eyes. His words sanctified the soil of those Tommies’ graves. Such a compassionate, generous, and forward-looking statesman; certainly an equal to Churchill, Roosevelt, Selassie, et al. Where are such men today, when they are needed more than ever? Why are they so rarely encountered?

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.
    We are the Dead. Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
    In Flanders fields.
    Take up our quarrel with the foe:
    To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
    In Flanders fields.

It shakes me to be apart of this generation. we can’t be respectful for atleast one day? Can’t they take One minute of their day to have a moment of silence? it hurts to see this.

    Through a baptism of fire.
    trudging through the depths of hell.
    The sacrifice of many, mates, brothers and cousins.

    2019 ANZAC Day Dawn Service Speech
    by Corporal Mark Donaldson VC
    "Two men at Lone Pine stare down the trench at the camera, a typical image of Gallipoli, surrounded by earth and sandbags - sods of grass and harsh vegetation reach over them providing a false sense of protection. In a junction, one man standing in trousers, shirt, short sleeves with his webbing slung over the top. His rifle is a leaning stick, a long bayonet attached obscures his face ever so slightly. The other man, on one knee as if in a pose. Shorts, shirt, sleeves rolled up, ready for what may come. His rifle at the high ready, bayonet attached. Both looking extremely ordinary, ready to survive, ready to fight, slouch hats on. We do not know what they did, if they survived, if they died? What adrenaline charged emotions prepared them to face the unknown...and do it again and again and again. We tell our young Australians it is an ANZAC spirit, but perhaps it is more than that.
    On that Gallipoli peninsula would be nearly 400,000 casualties in total - 36,141 young Australians and New Zealanders, among thousands of others from Britain, France and the Ottoman Empire. A beach, ridges, gullies and slithers of dirt are forever written into our histories and further still on the Western Front
    Battles which shaped an awareness of how we as nations fared in the global scale of warfare - scale measured from the sacrifice of the ‘ordinary’ Australian.
    Walter Downing was at Villers-Bretonneux in 1918. ‘The moon sank behind the clouds. There were houses burning in the town, throwing a sinister light on the scene. It was past midnight. Men muttered “Its Anzac Day,” smiling to each other, enlivened by the omen’. Cheering, our men rushed straight to the muzzles of machine-guns, not troubling to take them in the flank. There was no quarter either side… [The Australians] killed and killed. Bayonets passed with ease through grey-clad bodies...
    Charlie Stokes was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for his efforts that day. But he was haunted by them too. In later life, he confided in his children he had openly wept after the recapture of Villers-Bretonneux upon seeing what he had done.
    Perhaps, it is the capacity of all ordinary humans to do extraordinary things when coupled with extreme circumstance - to fight harder, to march further, dig deeper, move despite overwhelmingly odds and care for wounded mates, no matter what the personal imposition or risk - even if that risk means death. This is spirit worthy of renown, praise and of striving to achieve. This is a human spirit - the Anzac spirit.
    A Spirit that spans generations, defines what mateship means and drives us to be more than we ever imagined we could be.
    Like Kevin Dasher Wheatley in Vietnam who risked his life to rescue a young girl caught in the cross fire between forces, putting his life on the line for her.
    In his last action a fellow Warrant Officer, Ron Swanton was mortally wounded. Dasher refused to leave his side, armed himself with two grenades and stayed with him knowing he would be killed in defending his mate.
    That’s courage and mateship. For this he was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross.
    Then there is Keith Payne. Isolated, surrounded on three sides, wounded in the hands and arms and under heavy fire, he covered the withdrawal before organizing his troops into a defensive perimeter. He then spent three hours relentlessly scouring the battlefield for isolated and wounded soldiers, all the while evading enemy troops, who kept up harassing fire. Keith found, organized and rescued some 40 men. Asked if afraid, Payne replied, "My God yes, yes, I was.” He was awarded the Victoria Cross.
    These are actions and inspiration to lean on in a time of crisis, hardship and foster our own spirit. We all sense fear in lives but must try not to succumb to it. Even the bravest are afraid.
    We honour their sacrifice by living a good life in support of others; respecting the freedoms given us and inspiring others to build a better Australia and stronger Anzac spirit. We should strive to be worthy of these sacrifices made for us.
    The Australian War Memorial was built on a promise - one our nation has a responsibility to uphold. A promise not just to an individual but for an individual… all of them… Those who served in the past, serving today and who will serve in the future. This place reminds those who wear our uniform that we care; that we are grateful for their sacrifice above self; that we have a place to reflect and that we will never forget - even if it is for just one of them.
    I urge the young people to visit, learn and be inspired by these deeds. Look at the age of those who went, who stood up and committed. They were your age, if not younger.
    That which we commemorate today and the brave and courageous behaviours we honour were undertaken by young men and women.
    There is a sobering reality that comes with service and sacrifice.
    A celebrated amazing feat can also be the worst day of another person’s life.
    The day that they never walked again, talked again or never returned home.
    Today and every day, remember all those sacrifices - those who suffered yet fought on and those who continue to do so today, not just in combat but also in support of others, who are now leaning on that spirit.
    We will never forget what those ANZACS endured and gave at Gallipoli.
    Be inspired by the sacrifice and spirit in the words of Cyril Bassett VC, A New Zealander recognised not for storming machine guns or rescuing wounded.
    His citation in reads: “…under continuous heavy machine gun and rifle fire, he succeeded in laying a telephone line from the old position to the new one on Chanuk Bair.
    He had to crawl into no man’s land to retrieve the separated ends and repair them with no shelter or covering fire, face down in the earth”.
    Of the 760 men, 711 were casualties. He was a reluctant hero, in his words is a powerful reflection:
    ‘I have a lot to be thankful for…. I do not want to skite in case my luck turns. When I received my medal I was disappointed to find out I was the only New Zealander to receive one from Gallipoli, because hundreds of Victoria Crosses should have been awarded there……. All my mates ever got was a wooden cross.’
    LEST WE FORGET"

      That a false statement only 116,708 US soldiers died in ww1 and 700,000 British soldiers died in ww1. When the Americans came to France to fight on the front lines they were just civilians that were train by the British and the French army to because soldiers.

    My grandad used to play the Reveille at wake-up and the Last Post at day's end, during his national service (Polish Army).
    He was buried today, played out by a trumpeter, like him. Unfortunately I couldn't attend (COVID) but I had a few cans of his favourite beer and a few pieces of his favourite ham and kielbasa and I look forward to going and paying my respects when I can.
    They don't make men like him anymore, that's for sure; but we can try to follow the example he set.
    RIP

    My great-grandfather fought for the Soviet Union alongside Canadian and US forces. Over 17 Nazi kills in his name. Passed in the 50s. We will never forget those brave men that died.
