A special bugle was an unusual feature of this year’s Anzac Day commemorations in Wondai.<\/p>\n

Wondai Town Band member Lucy Jacobsen, from Brisbane, played the Last Post and Reveille on an historic World War I bugle owned by former Wondai soldier Les Pearce.<\/p>\n

Les was a local labourer who served in the 2\/9 Battalion during World War II in Palestine and Syria, Milne Bay and Buna. He was shot and killed on December 27, 1942, at the age of 25.<\/p>\n

His bugle is now housed at the Wondai RSL Club, and Lucy was invited to play it for the town’s Gallipoli centenary commemorations.<\/p>\n

As usual, Wondai’s Dawn Service and Commemoration Service both drew good crowds,<\/p>\n

And as was common in other South Burnett towns, numbers were larger than usual this year because of the special significance of the occasion.<\/p>\n

The traditional parade along Mackenzie Street was well supported by marchers and local school children, who were urged on by crowds of appreciative spectators.<\/p>\n
