Personal Reflection
Meanwhile, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs is also encouraging Australians to join together by individually commemorating with a personal reflection at 11.30 am AEST – 4.30 am in Gallipoli – a time that broadly represents the landings at Gallipoli at dawn on 25 April 1915.
ABC and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs have produced a video and audio personal reflection piece, to help Australians with their personal reflection at 11.30am. This consists of the Ode, a minute’s silence and the Last Post.
A pre-recorded Last Post Ceremony will be posted to the Memorial’s digital platforms at 4.55 pm this afternoon. The ceremony will feature the story of Private Thomas Anderson Whyte of the 10th Battalion AIF — who was killed during the landing at Gallipoli in 1915 — read by Sergeant Shelby Powell of the Royal Australian Air Force.
A range of content developed by the Memorial to encourage people to commemorate Anzac Day from home is available online at: https://www.awm.gov.au/Anzacathome/Anzactv.
