**Last Post Ceremony at the Australian War Memorial
At the end of each day, commencing at 4.55 pm, the Memorial farewells visitors with its moving Last Post Ceremony. The ceremony begins with the singing of the Australian National Anthem, followed by the poignant strains of a Lament, played by a piper. Visitors are invited to lay wreaths and floral tributes beside the Pool of Reflection. The Roll of Honour in the Cloisters lists the names of more than 102,000 Australians who have given their lives in war and other operations over more than a century. At each ceremony the story behind one of these names will be told. The Ode is then recited, and the ceremony ends with the sounding of the Last Post.
A wreath will be laid on behalf of the Vintage Club in remembrance of all CGS Fallen Soldiers.
Invitations will be sent out via post and email in late August 2016.
