Thanks for the posting Jan - Makes us old Hawera folk nostaglic for ANZAC Day. Mt brother played the Last Post in the mid 60s, as a young cornet player. We went every year as Brownies and Guides - as well as the cubs and scouts. Those days are well remembered - the laying of the wreathes from various groups, the Dawn parade and the old soldiers.
