ORIGIN OF THE LAST POST
It was first used in the
17th century as a part of a drum beating ceremony for the posting of the guard but its present form derives more directly
from the 18th century when the bugle was adopted more universally. Previously most calls were played with Fife and Drum. It
was first notated in 1798 as the "Second Post"
"Setting the Watch" was a bugle call, which began the tattoo period
calling Canadian troops home to barracks. The "Second Post" ended the tattoo period and at its last notes all troops were
to be in bed. That call is now known as the "Last Post" and is played on solemn ceremonial occasions
Originally the
"Last Post" ended the labours and pleasures of the day. By a natural and poetical association of ideas it became customary
to sound the same call at military funerals, signifying the end to lifes labours and pleasures. When the call is heard in
sad funeral rites with its final cadence whispering "lights outlights out", its solemn and majestic grandeur cannot be mistaken.
Since the end of WW1, Belgian buglers have nightly sounded the "Last Post" in the great cemetery of British soldiers at Menin
Gate near Ypres. Age is a high price to pay for maturity.

THE LAST POST
Come home! Come home! The last post is sounding
for
you to hear. All good soldiers know very well there
is nothing to fear while they do what is right, and forget
all the
worries they have met in their duties through the
year. A soldier cannot always be great, but he can be a
gentleman
and he can be a right good pal to his comrades in
his squad. So all you soldiers listen to this Deal fair by all
and
youll never be amiss.
Be Brave! Be Just! Be Honest and True Men!
