Sponsored Last Post hits a discordant note

BY definition in a secular society, few things are universally recognised as sacred. Remembrance of the war dead is one of them, however, which is why every city and nearly every town has a war memorial that is held in special reverence, as are the ceremonies conducted at them. In larger institutions such as Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance and the Australian War Memorial, these do not only happen on Anzac Day or Remembrance Day but every day, with a bugler playing the Last Post each evening.
