The Meaning Of The Bugle Calls
Many people are mystified by bugle calls on Anzac Day and Remembrance Day.
For this reason it has been suggested that the meaning behind these calls is
explained. During the service there will be two bugle calls.
The first is the “Last Post”.
"Last Post" is the call sounded at 10pm each evening to inform the
soldiers that they should be inside their quarters for the night. It
signified the end of the day's activities and ushers in a period of rest and
quietness. It is sounded at military funerals and commemorative services to
indicate that the soldier has completed his life's work and has entered into
his rest.
The second, following the reading of the Ode, and the two minutes silence, is
“Reveille”.
"Reveille" is the trumpet or bugle call sounded in all military
barracks and camps first thing in the morning to awaken the soldiers and tell
them to get up and dress. It is also sounded at military funerals and
commemorative services to signify the resurrection of the body after death
and the awakening of the soul into a new life.
They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
