In the song "No Man's Land" (Eric Bogle) (recorded by Peter, Paul and
Mary on "Flowers and Stones"), the chorus has the lines
Did the bugles sound the last post in chorus?
Did the pipes play "the flowers o the forest"?
(lyrics from _Rise Up Singing_)
Anyone know what the last post is?
(I think I know "the flowers of the forest")
(Email direct is fine with me ... er...@cunyvm.cuny.edu)
Thanks

"The Last Post" is a military bugle call which is traditionally played at
funerals and on Remembrance Day (Canada). I assume it is used on
Memorial Day (USA).

"The Flowers of the Forest" is a Scots tune which may also be traditional
in the funeral context. June Tabor sings it on an album, immediately
after "No Man's Land". That is the only time I have heard the tune played.

"Last Post" is a Brit equivalent of "Taps."

Kathryn Tickell has recorded it, playing the Northumbrian small
pipes. It's on her album "Borderlands" (Black Crow Records 1986).
