The second shorter piece is called Rouse and is a shorter version of Reveille. It is played on the completion of one minute's silence, after the Last Post has been sounded. It calls the soldier's spirit to rise and prepare for another day. It's a those that are remembered never really die/ we march on anyway sort of thing. Rouse is used instead as Reveille is somewhat long and is thus reserved for the ANZAC Dawn Service with Rouse being used at other times. Snake -

It sounds in parts very mutch like the US Army bugle call...the Tattoo(secure the post and prepare for bed)..do you know what it's called? Anyway it brought back fond memories of lost AATTV buddies...Best Sim, I defy anyone to keep a dry eye listening to that mournful bugle call.
