During Junee’s Anzac Day service, he was presented certificate celebrating his effort over 50 years.

Back in 1965, Mr Logan sounded the Last Post for the first time, he was 11 years old, he was joined by Peter Bean, 10 and Wayne Potter, 11.

The boys were carefully watched by World War One veteran Harold Carthew.

“He was there humming it to us so we didn’t forget,” Mr Logan said.

Mr Logan said Mr Carthew was a brilliant musician who arranged much of the band’s music himself, instead of buying it.

“When I first played there, there were 500 ex-servicemen marching and now they’re all gone,” Mr Logan said.

Since that day, Mr Logan has played the bugle across the shire from Eurongilly to Illabo, at each of the schools, Cooinda Court, at the Junee Correctional Centre, Cooinda Court and the hospital.

Mr Logan would also sound the Last Post at the funerals of ex-servicemen, often being collected from school by Val Hancock who take him to the cemetery.

“I’m very glad I started it, the majority of towns don’t have a bugle player, most just use a recording,” Mr Logan said.

He described it as great honour which also gave him the chance to meet Diggers who served the nation.

With 50 years on the board, Mr Logan is looking for someone to continue playing the bugle and is confident of finding another young person to continue the tradition.

“Someone will come along to keep doing it, it needs to be done, you can’t have Anzac Day without the Last Post.”
