The Last Post

When will you hear this song? - I think that many people will only hear this song when it’s a remembrance of the people who died from anzac. Or if they're studying about anzac day and need information. 


Why is this sign significant/important in New Zealand? - Many New Zealanders observe Anzac Day on April 25. It commemorates the landing of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps ANZAC at Gallipoli, Turkey, during World War I in 1915. This event, also observed in Australia, remembers all New Zealanders who served their country in wars and conflicts.


What is the story behind the last post - Why was it played and When? - Although the Last Post has come to carry such mournful weight and meaning, it was not originally used in a memorial context. In fact, the Last Post was just a simple song in its very first years. First published and played in the 1790s, the Last Post was one of many bugle calls used by the British Army.


What does this song represent? - This song mainly represents anzac day  of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations and the contribution and suffering of all those who have served.

So basically we celebrate this by cutting my hair. Who cuts our hair. Well in the Tongans culture your/my dad’s older sister is your one and only fahu, which means you have to respect her.So if my dad dies my fahu must cut my hair.Before giving my hair to my fahu I need to put like a bill as a tekiteki for my fahu.

It can be celebrated with anyone. Like anyone random.

This is important to our dad.
