The Last Post is the bugle call at the end of the day to tell everyone that it is time to go to sleep. It is played at military funerals to tell everyone that the soldier has gone to his final rest. It is also played at ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day so we think about the brave soldiers. The poppies shown in this movie are also worn during ANZAC Day.

__//** SIMPSON and His DONKEY **//__ Jack Simpson Kirkpatrick showed the ‘Anzac values’ of bravery, getting along and sacrifice. He landed at Gallipoli on 25th April 1915. He found a donkey that he called "Duffy". He worked hard carrying wounded soldiers from the battlefront to the beach hospital. In 24 days, under constant attack from artillery and sniper fire, he rescued close to 300 men.
