As we approach our Memorial Weekend, I found this quite beautiful… Haunting.

A pleasant tribute to our loyal fallen  allies– Enjoy!

THE LAST POST VERSION ON A VIOLIN.

Australia showed the world their fighting men were the equal of any in the

world and a fighting arm of the British Commonwealth (as did New Zealand ).

It really is a celebratory day rather than a day of mourning, but we

fiercely honour all those men and women who have given their lives to keep

us free in every theatre of war since we became a nation. Australian men

also fought in the Boer war and the Boxer Rebellion ( China ) but both

conflicts started before we became a Commonwealth Country on 1-1-1900 (they

went as individual volunteers, as we didn't have an Australian army).

So, there was a lot of "Last Posts" played yesterday and I thought you'd

like to hear a violin version - I haven't heard one before and it's very

moving.

I had never heard the Last post played on anything other than a cornet or a 

trumpet. mouth organ  This version, I find just as moving. Having had our 

ANZAC Day commemorations and memorials, this young lady felt inspired to pay

her own tribute to the brave ANZAC's, including both of her Great 

Grandfathers. Sadly, neither of them made it home. To those who served then 

and to those who serve now, thank you.

Here is her rendition of The Last Post.
