Fallen Coo-ees commemorated at Australian War Memorial Last Post Ceremonies
Last Post Ceremony at Australian War Memorial
The Last Post Ceremony is held in the Commemorative area of the Australian War Memorial each day. This ceremony commemorates the 102,000 Australians who gave their lives in war and other operations, and whose names are recorded on the Australian War Memorial’s Roll of Honour. The story behind one of the names remembered on the Roll of Honour is told at each Last Post Ceremony.
Five of the 41 Coo-ees who died while overseas on active service during the First World War have been commemorated in a Last Post Ceremony at the Australian War Memorial during the Centenary period.
These services have been recorded, and can be viewed on the Australian War Memorial website:
