The Last Post — that haunting lone bugle call synonymous with war — will be massively amplified with a call out for 100 musicians to commemorate 100 years since the end of the World War I.

Ted Tait is behind the ambitious project which would see the musicians scattered around Perth at the traditional minute of silence marking Remembrance Day on November 11 at 11am.

Before the minute starts, the last post will play, marking the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI when an armistice between the Allies and Germany was brought into effect.

Mr Tait, who has 38 years of experience with the Australian Navy Band, said the idea was first discussed three years ago after a Remembrance Day service with several of his bandmates.

"We were sitting down having a quiet coffee afterwards and we decided it would be good to get a 100 buglers for the 100th anniversary of Remembrance Day — it started and snowballed from there."

Mr Tait was hoping Western Australia's bugling community would get behind the project, and already about 60 people had signed on.

"We're trying to get from 60 to 100, so those 40-odd people who are thinking about it, we'd like them to do something about it," he said.

"We can make it an awesome and memorable occasion on the 11th of November."

He said musicians could bring their instrument of choice if they didn't have a bugle on hand.

"The call is for trumpets, bugles, cornets, flugelhorns … and if a person dragged out a trombone … at least they're making an effort and recognising the occasion."

The musicians will be stationed all over Perth, from the King's Park Memorial to Northbridge.

Mr Tait hoped the project would be a fitting commemoration to those who served and those who never made it home.

"If they hadn't done what they did, we would be here," Mr Tait said.

Musician Blake Robertson-Hall has been playing for more than 20 years and knew he wanted to be a part of the project.

"A 100 years of Remembrance Day is really special," he said.

"I got shown the event was occurring by a friend and I immediately went, 'yeah, I'll do that. I'll make time in my schedule for that'," Mr Robertson-Hall said.

George Bakker, 7, has been playing for three and a half years. He will perform along with his mother, Kathleen.

RSL WA Chief Executive John McCourt said the plan to assemble 100 buglers to march through Perth is a fantastic initiative. ( ABC News: Sarah Collard )

RSL WA chief executive John McCourt said the RSL was fully supporting the idea.

"They came to us and said what do you think of this idea … we had the capacity and the drive and the determination and we are 100 per cent behind it, we think it's terrific," Mr McCourt said.

He said it would be a day to celebrate and an important reminder about the folly of war.

"It was supposed to be 'the wars to end all wars' and unfortunately it wasn't. A lot of people ask why we continue to commemorate and remember, we do that because its a reminder of the folly of war."
