Remembering Fallen Royal Welchmen

[BennytheBall]

I am sure that most of our forum members will be attending their local Armistice parades on Sunday 12th Nov 06

But I would like to give rememberance for those who can't not make their parades and for the Fallen Royal Welch Fusiliers.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the Sun, and in the Morning.
We will Remember Them"



We Will Remember Them!

For your Tommorrow, We gave our Today"

No parade, no reunion (yet) just a quiet beer in the RSL in Sydney where at 19:30 every night every body stands for a minutes silence and then listens;

They shall grow not old, as we are left to 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"

a nice rendition of the 'Last Post', traditionally played at remembrance day services, memorials and military funerals. 'Last Post' has been incorporated into funeral and memorial services as a final farewell and symbolises that the duty of the dead is over and that they can rest in peace. Click on the Poppy to play it

DID you know.The Last Post was originally a bugle call used in British Army camps to signal the end of the day. The name derives from the practice of inspecting all the sentry posts around such a camp at the end of the day, and playing a bugle call at each of them. The "last post" was thus the last point of this inspection, and the bugle call signalling that this post had been inspected marked the end of the military day. This custom dates from at least the 17th century, and originated with British troops stationed in the Netherlands, where it drew on an older Dutch custom, called Taptoe

Amen

It is a long time ago but we always sounded first post at 2130 followed by last post at 2200, I remember it well, those were the days of good cold winter nights which seemed to make the bugle echo around the barracks.
Now it is increasingly difficult to get a bugler for remembrance and funerals which is a great pity, however that is progress and rationalisation or downsizing or even merging come to that.
That's my whinge for remembrance week, I will be on parade later this morning, I hope you all have a good parade where ever you are and think of all those less fortunate than ourselves.
Kind regards to all,
Joe.
