I was 18 when I was sent home to bury my best friend from my unit and it’s been ten years today… this hits home, much love from a former Canadian infantry soldier
This was played at my grandads funeral today and it was one of the hardest days i have ever came up on rest in peace to all of the soldiers that have died for our country x
My grandad was at Normandy. He died at 90 and representatives from the UK military came and played this. Solidarity stood stands them apart. The most important generation ❤️

Who ever disliked this should be ashamed, men laid down their lives to save us and our country. To save us going through and to war, to bring peace to our land and joy back home
My great grandfather (my dad’s side of the family) was an air pilot in WW2. I never knew him personally as he passed away years ago but I honour his memory every ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day. They are sad days but days for respecting and honouring my late family member. They will be missed regardless. I love my family dearly.
God speed and semper Fi. They did the work most of us wouldn't have the guts to do. Some joined, some forced, but fought till the bitter end. May the rest in peace...

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.

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.
On this day, 1915. 104 years ago, two young nations made their debut on the world stage. Australia and New Zealand. Through a baptism of fire. trudging through the depths of hell. The sacrifice of many, mates, brothers and cousins. They died in hell, but they reside in heaven. They will never be forgotten, we thank you from now, to eternity. Lest we forget.
Ngl me and the kids at my school would always die trying not to laugh when this played at school every Remembrance Day. Like we fr had to practice listening to this and not laughing the day before the school assembly. I had no idea how serious this is until way later.
I never get tired of hearing this. It makes me feel proud. And it's great seeing the soldiers who visit my school during the day and to listen to them tell their sad tales. Lest we forget.
To who ever disliked this, I would like you to know that we Australians honour those who fought in war, and this song is a symbol of that. I, and many others, wish you a very unmerry day.
On a visit in 2017 I saw many many memorials - I was able to visit a small park which had a wonderful memorial to all in many conflicts. I also visited New Zealand where a larger tha real life models were displayed depicting famous incidents with sound tracks. I had to leave prematurely as it very much a ffected me. I honour all soldiers, many gave some service to many gave their all. Never Forget, RIP.
@@UnknownD0orknob hello Bob they did Gollipalie, Burma and Malay, Vietnam and Korea. Dare I say yes they did quite a bit these are the battles with very high casualties.
It was Anzac Day yesterday. R.I.P all of those Australian's and New Zealander's who died and fought for their/our country and every other country. I will always respect and remember them, R.I.P. Thank you for your service and thank you for giving your lives for ours. Lest We Forget.
My son played this at a remembrance for 9/11. Played it outside, facing the ocean. There was not a dry eye in the house. This is such an emotional piece to listen to.
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."
The hope and comfort of his words fills my heart. Would that politicians step aside and allow we who have seen the horror of war first hand sit down with our honored brothers from the other side and make peace.
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 my school we did the most beautiful parade today and this piece was actually played and when the 2 minute silence ended I looked up and saw the sky sort of light up. It was beautiful
It’s been 6 years since my best friend was killed in action in Afghanistan. He was of those that never made it home. I hope you find peace, Corporal, wherever you are in the world and know the at we miss you every single day.🫡🫡
Even thought I don't go school anymore, I always listen to this on the 11th November. Always good to respect the People God put in place for justice and bravery
I WILL BE PLAYING THIS AT HOME AT 6AM WST ON SATURDAY THE 25TH OF APRIL 2020 AND I WILL PLAY SO LOUD MY WHOLE SUBURB WILL HEAR THE LAST POST! THANKYOU TO ALL THE VETS!!!

I thank you all for your. Courageous efforts to defend against the axis powers... you are all truly remarkable and brave men god bless you all
Today we must take a minute of silence to remember and appreciate all the brave, heroic soldiers and people who helped serve our country. Thank you for putting our lives before your own because without you all Australia may not be the safe country it is. So great thanks, lest we forget❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you to all the brave men who fought for Australia and New Zealand and to the women who helped our troops recover. We will remember. Lest we Forget

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
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"
Luke McMahon. I have been there with Turkish friends /rescue team We will not forget all the brave men who fought In the Suvla Bay area ANZAC and TURK . Bless them all. They all deserve to be remembered. 🇬🇧😷⛑
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old, Age shall not Wery them nor the years condem, At the going down of the sun and in the morning We WIll Remember them. Lest We Forget.
Rest In Peace, my dear brother Leslie John Mark Dennis, 1961 - 1996, never strong enough to serve our country as a warrior, but played The Last Post beautifully. Though a warrior he was, fighting a lifelong battle with asthma which lead him to the bugle, trumpet, French horn, and ultimately electric guitar. Though his body lost the war in 1996 with two burst lungs, his music, spirit and memory live on in thousands of lives he touched, and souls saved through his ministry as a youth pastor. I can't wait to see you again, Les. XO.
On November 11 , at 11 : 00 the guns became quiet on the battlefield , as the war ended. We will never forget the men and woman in uniform that served , to give us peace. the men and woman in uniform who participated in the war will never be forgotten. we will pay respects to the men and woman in uniform who died during the war. they shall never be forgotten , they will always be remembered in our heart , our mind and our soul.
I Am Malaysian and my Grand Father is one of the soldier that fought for our Independence and freedom during British and Jap intrusion. He had died at his old age. But thanks to Britain and all allied for teaching us to stand on our own feet and helping us during Malaysia-Indonesia confrontation.
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.
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.

@NoPain NoGain no. People from other countries are bringing drugs and crap to our country. Like what? It's not a scum country. Just most of the people. Australia is the most beautiful country out there next to Japan and Russia.
The way this tune just leaves us in the air at the end, gets me every time. God rest all the fallen heroes who made this day possible....God help mend the hearts of their families. No words.
Rest In Peace and God Bless. To all who stands, to stand and stood in the face of death and sacrifice. Lest We Forget. God Bless to those who are still in active combat and to who have been injured during combat or combat operations and to those who will see combat. Rest In Peace, and God Bless to those courageous and brave souls. Rest In Peace and God Bless. Lest We Forget.

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.
Why that is the saddest thing in history .New Zealand has suffered in fate but we are strong.God bless you.

It was Anzac Day yesterday. R.I.P all of those Australian's and New Zealander's who died and fought for their/our country and every other country. I will always respect and remember them, R.I.P. Thank you for your service and thank you for giving your lives for ours.

Gets the tears on like a waterfall every time I hear it. The sacrifices made for us. Lest we forget. Love my land down under. Thanks to the bravery x
Same here ❤
My son played this at a remembrance for 9/11. Played it outside, facing the ocean. There was not a dry eye in the house. This is such an emotional piece to listen to.
Oh, and I'll never forget it! Always warm my heart ❤
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."
Very well said, war is madness, we must all preserve the peace bye reconciliation.
The hope and comfort of his words fills my heart. Would that politicians step aside and allow we who have seen the horror of war first hand sit down with our honored brothers from the other side and make peace.
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?
I never knew this. Thank you for sharing.
❤
In my school we did the most beautiful parade today and this piece was actually played and when the 2 minute silence ended I looked up and saw the sky sort of light up. It was beautiful
It’s been 6 years since my best friend was killed in action in Afghanistan. He was of those that never made it home. I hope you find peace, Corporal, wherever you are in the world and know the at we miss you every single day.🫡🫡
The best version of the last post played by just one man. My favourite & the one I always return to, very moving - well played Sir.

OverBoiing Remembrance Day began because of WW1 not WW2
Tomás Roma remembrance day is to remember people who have served in any war or are currently serving
OverBoiing yeah I know. It just strikes me as odd you would write that on this video.
Wtfff Ireland lost 36,000 Irish..learn the facts🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Linda Mac Manus learn the facts Ireland wasn’t part of the allies how ever I’m not saying we shouldn’t remember them
I listen to this everyday to honour my great grandpa and all the others on war
Losing too many friends in the military this song always breaks me up, probably always will, some wounds I fear cannot be fully healed. Awesome job
Are you a big fan of the Royal Australian Air Force?
We listened to this at school yesterday. Since people appriciated it so much we asked for it 3 times.
May the fallen soldiers ly and Flanders Fields,
And may they rest in peace...

We just had rememberance sunday today, and I was stood with my fellow cadets, every year at school this is played.
The world owes a deep debt of gratitude to the ANZACS whose contributions and sacrifices are not always appreciated as they should be, deepest respect and regards from an old Pomm.
This song fills me with great pride and sadness at the same time! I will never forget the sacrifice these great men and women made for my future and all LEST WE FORGET.
Every time I hear this, it sends chills down my spine thinking about my lovely Nan and Pop who served to make Australia what it is today. May you Rest In Peace together Nan and Pop 🕊💕
Thank you to all the brave men, women and animals who sacrificed so much, in order for us to live the lives we have today. Lest we forget 🕊❤️
I remember the day me and my family buried my grandfather in a coffin with the Australian flag neatly placed on top and fellow veterans saluting as this master piece played. He was special forces in the Vietnam war. I miss him. Ronald Wadham 1954-2008

“At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.”
Lest We Forget.
Lots of respect to all of the brave soldiers who fought for us. Rest In Peace.
Are you aussie
Those who fought thank you for your service 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
In flanders feilds 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.
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we remember the brave men and women who gave up there lives to save us. Lest We Forget
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
Thanks for the post Michael. We're sorry to hear of your loss and hope you are doing OK.
I wasn't sure what to do today so I played this by myself.
I could never be this brave. How proud I am to have these men fight for our freedom
I respect every single one of those soldiers shoulder to shoulder for how I’m here to day 🙏🥀
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"
I'm here for Anzac day sir
Luke McMahon. I have been there with Turkish friends /rescue team We will not forget all the brave men who fought In the Suvla Bay area ANZAC and TURK . Bless them all. They all deserve to be remembered. 🇬🇧😷⛑
Your fingers would be broken typing.
Rip CPL Anthony boneca KIA Afghanistan 2006…
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not Wery them nor the years condem,
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We WIll Remember them.
Lest We Forget.
I'm currently watching this on ANZAC Day. Anybody else here doing the same?
Awesome performance and beautiful video.
My respect to all those who served shoulder to shoulder each and every one of them🌹
Shoulder*
Sorry my brada but it's shoulder
In the US Navy they play a very similar tune called”Tattoo” at the end of the day.
Both are beautiful pieces!
Here to pay my respects to our Australian brothers and sisters who laid down their lives to defend your beautiful country. Love from America.
Rest In Peace, my dear brother Leslie John Mark Dennis, 1961 - 1996, never strong enough to serve our country as a warrior, but played The Last Post beautifully. Though a warrior he was, fighting a lifelong battle with asthma which lead him to the bugle, trumpet, French horn, and ultimately electric guitar. Though his body lost the war in 1996 with two burst lungs, his music, spirit and memory live on in thousands of lives he touched, and souls saved through his ministry as a youth pastor. I can't wait to see you again, Les. XO.
This song was played every Anzac Day at my old primary school. Truly a sad day at my school. 😢
two days and Sydney
not sad, be proud
Salute to the cornet player, this brought tears to my eyes
Lest We Forget. Thank you so much for your dedication.
On November 11 , at 11 : 00 the guns became quiet on the battlefield , as the war ended. We will never forget the men and woman in uniform that served , to give us peace. the men and woman in uniform who participated in the war will never be forgotten. we will pay respects to the men and woman in uniform who died during the war. they shall never be forgotten , they will always be remembered in our heart , our mind and our soul.
I always get a tingle and my hairs stand on end when I hear this... Almost as if I was there in a past life. Lest we forget.
I Am Malaysian and my Grand Father is one of the soldier that fought for our Independence and freedom during British and Jap intrusion. He had died at his old age. But thanks to Britain and all allied for teaching us to stand on our own feet and helping us during Malaysia-Indonesia confrontation.
anyone who disliked this video is being very disrespectful of those who sacrificed our life for us.
I can only see enemy's of our fallen heroes doing the dislikes.
It is inhumane to even think of disliking the video. Lest we forget 🙏
The Squishy- Squash I know
True sad 😔 isn’t it
The Squishy- Squash dumb fuckheads who don’t care about our real hero’s
We honour those who served greatly on this special day!
We shall not forget.
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.
Nothings can be more valuable than a soldier put his life on the line of duty for his country..🙏
🇦🇺 lest we forget 🇦🇺
Lest We Forget. God bless Australia, England all Commonwealth nations and the United STATES
Michael Goldman US did jack shit in WWI.
Praefectus Evocatorum Lucius Vorenus but if they didn’t join the allies Germany may not have backed down and kept
going
Fuck off
Praefectus Evocatorum Lucius Vorenus ignoring the fact more americans died than british
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.
Oi what's with the dislikes? This is a beautiful tune.
Lest We Forget
You are amazing people. You fought for us and lost everything. I respect that
Edit: ok no joke I hope I ain't bein' disrespectful but this is the highest amount of likes any of my comments have gotten. Thank you
@NoPain NoGain Not a shit country and not full of scum mate. Still loads of decent people here. Every country has its fair share of scumbags. No reason for people to hit dislike on this video.
@NoPain NoGain Truly an idiot.
The dislikes come from left wing socialists who support the Greens
BLIMEY! (ikr)
@NoPain NoGain no. People from other countries are bringing drugs and crap to our country. Like what? It's not a scum country. Just most of the people. Australia is the most beautiful country out there next to Japan and Russia.
The way this tune just leaves us in the air at the end, gets me every time. God rest all the fallen heroes who made this day possible....God help mend the hearts of their families. No words.
They will never be forgotten. God bless and thank you for your service. 🇨🇦🪖
May the hero’s rest in peace and never be forgotten to all those who fought 🫡
Beautiful playing. Beautiful video. Thank you. We mustn't forget.
Rest In Peace and God Bless. To all who stands, to stand and stood in the face of death and sacrifice.
Lest We Forget. God Bless to those who are still in active combat and to who have been injured during combat or combat operations and to those who will see combat.
Rest In Peace, and God Bless to those courageous and brave souls.
Rest In Peace and God Bless. Lest We Forget.
Thank you for this version of The Last Post - this is more meaningful without all the bells and whistles and fancy bits.
