when was the last post played in ww1?
remembrance day
its use in remembrance day ceremonies in commonwealth nations has two generally unexpressed purposes: the first is an implied summoning of the spirits of the fallen to the cenotaph, the second is to symbolically end the day, so that the period of silence before the rouse is blown becomes in effect a ritualised night vigil. the last post as played at the end of inspection typically lasted for about 45 seconds; when played ceremonially with notes held for longer, pauses extended, and the expression mournful, typical duration could be 75 seconds or more.
