The Last Post Ceremony is presented in the Commemorative area of the Australian War Memorial each day. The ceremony commemorates more than 102,000 Australians who have given their lives in war and other operations and whose names are recorded on the Roll of Honour. At each ceremony the story behind one of the names on the Roll of Honour is told. Hosted by Gerard Pratt, the story for this day was on (177) Lance Corporal Frederick William REED, XXII Corps, Light Horse Regiment, First World War, 1914-1918 and was read by Captain Lisa Batchler.
