The song traditionally played at Anzac Day dawn services is "The Last Post." This bugle call is used to signify the end of the day and honor those who have served and sacrificed in military conflicts. It is often accompanied by a moment of silence to remember the fallen.

Why do they play the last post at the ANZAC day dawn service?

Playing the bugle call of The Last Post is a military tradition. It is sounded at 10 pm each night to signal the end of the day's activities. The reason why it is played at military funerals and commemorative services like Anzac Day (and Remembrance Day) is that it is a final farewell and as a symbol that those who have died have completed their call of duty, and now they can rest in peace.

Why does Anzac day begin with the dawn service?

Dawn ceremonies remember the dawn landing at Gallipoli during World War 1. Originally, they were simple and followed operational ritual and were for veterans only. Over the years, they have become more elaborate with families and young people begin encouraged to attend. Regarding why these ceremonies are held at dawn, this commemorates the fact that the initial landing of the ANZAC troops at Gallipoli occurred just before dawn. When this first wave of troops came ashore, many of them were shot as they waded ashore or when they first came onto the beach, and they never stood a chance.
