Each day at 4.30 pm AEDT, the Australian War Memorial holds a moving Last Post Ceremony telling the story behind just one of the more than 102,700 names on the Roll of Honour. This tradition began in 2013 and it will take nearly 300 years to commemorate every person on the Roll of Honour.

Each story is carefully researched and written by Australian War Memorial historians.

The live broadcast of the ceremony is streamed on the Memorial's Last Post Ceremony YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/

The Last Post Ceremony is proudly supported by RSL Australia.
