Last Post
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Last Post can be either a B bugle call within British infantry regiments or an E cavalry trumpet call in British cavalry and Royal Horse Artillery regiments used at Commonwealth military funerals and ceremonies commemorating those who have fallen in war. The two regimental traditions have separate music for the calls (see Trumpet & Bugle Calls for the British Army 1966). Whilst the infantry (B bugle) version is the better known of the two versions of the call the E cavalry trumpet version is the tune used by the state trumpeters of the Household Cavalry. "The Last Post" is also the name of a poem by Robert Graves describing a soldier's funeral during World War I. The Last Post call (2nd Post) is used in British Army camps to signal the end of the day when the duty officer returns from the tour of the camp and quarters.

The result is a superb, unique and unforgettable story of war and death, fear and cruelty, above all the horrors and allure of combat.
