The Last Post ceremony at Menin Gate, Ypres, Belgium, 18 April 2018
The Last Post ceremony at Menin Gate, Ypres, Belgium, 18 April 2018.
Menen Poort, Ieper, 18 april 2018
Ceremony with deligation of the Royal Regiment of Scotland
True to its statutes, the Last Post Association wishes to honour and remember the soldiers of the British Empire who gave their lives during the Great War of 1914-1918. The Last Post ceremony seeks to express, day after day, the lasting debt of gratitude which we all owe to the men who fought and fell for the restoration of peace and the independence of Belgium.
With the passage of time, the meaning of the ceremony has become broader and deeper. When the bugles now blow, we no longer remember simply the fallen of the British Commonwealth, but also their comrades-in-arms from Belgium, France and many other allied nations, who willingly made the supreme sacrifice.
We remember, too, that many died on the other side of No Man's Land: enemies then, but partners now in a united Europe. In this sense, the Last Post is not only a mirror reflecting Europe's troubled past, but also a beacon of hope for all our futures.
Iedere avond om 20.00 uur blaast men in Ieper onder de Menenpoort de De Laatste Post ter nagedachtenis aan de 54.896 soldaten uit het Britse Gemenebest die in de veldslagen van de Eerste Wereldoorlog vielen rond Ieper. Naast het blazen van de The Last Post worden er ook kransen gelegd.
De betekenis van de plechtigheid is in de loop der jaren wat uitgebreid: wanneer de Last Post tegenwoordig geblazen wordt, herdenken we niet enkel en alleen de gesneuvelden van het Britse Gemenebest, maar evenzeer de Belgische, Franse en andere geallieerden, die ten koste van alles meevochten.
Aan de ‘andere zijde' lieten ook velen het leven. Vijanden toen, maar partners in het verenigde Europa van nu. Aldus vertegenwoordigt de Last Post niet alleen een kijk op ons verleden, maar ook een signaal van hoop naar de toekomst toe.

Belgium travel tip : Bayernwald Trenches - Ypres - Belgium Visiting Flanders #Belgium
Bayernwald Trenches
Croonaert Wood was one of the sites used by German units to defend the area around the Ypres Salient. The Germans built a defensive complex of trenches, dugouts and bunkers on the slightly elevated landscape, from which artillery observers had an excellent view of the ground around Wijtschate and Ypres. The location was called Bayernwald by German soldiers due to the fact that the first German soldiers to be stationed there were from Bavaria (Bayern in German).
The area was the site of extensive mining activity by both German and British units during the war. Before the Battle of Messines, the tunnelling companies of the Royal Engineers placed a large mine around the German strongpoint Günther, not far from the Bayernwald trenches.
Thank You for watching !!

The Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing is a war memorial in Ypres, Belgium, dedicated to the British and Commonwealth soldiers who were killed in the Ypres Salient of World War I and whose graves are unknown.
Following the Menin Gate Memorial opening in 1927, the citizens of Ypres wanted to express their gratitude towards those who had given their lives for Belgium's freedom. Hence every evening at 20:00, buglers from the Last Post Association close the road which passes under the memorial and sound the Last Post.

BELGIUM: YPRES: END OF WW1 CEREMONIES
English/Nat
Wednesday sees the 80th anniversary of the armistice that ended World War One.
The Belgian town of Ypres will be the focus of ceremonies marking occasion.
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II and Belgium's King Albert II will attend a remembrance service in the town along with a handful of surviving veterans.
From 1914 to 1918, allied troops fought a war of attrition against the Germans in the trenches around Ypres.
They prevented the Kaiser's armies capturing English Channel ports, but paid a terrible cost.
The deaths of 200-thousand British and Commonwealth soldiers are recorded on graves and monuments around Ypres.
Today in the flat, featureless landscape, it seems every twist in the road reveals another cemetery, with its tight ranks of young men's graves.
Decades of exposure to the chill winds of Flanders Fields have eroded the inscriptions on these headstones.
But the 137 British cemeteries in Flanders are meticulously maintained by a team of 190 administrators, gardeners and stonemasons working for the Ypres office of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
24 stonemasons work continuously to restore these graves.
Fewer family members come to mourn the dead these days.
They are slowly being replaced by students and tourists.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
The actual war finished 80 years ago, so most of the people that fought in that war are well gone. We are finding we get a tremendous amount of youngsters, 14 to 15 years old, that are studying recent history for various projects on this kind of things. So mostly its (the cemetery) just becoming more historical than emotional

On Wednesday the Belgian King, Albert II, and the British Queen, Elizabeth II, will honour over 10 million soldiers who died in the First World War.
The Belgian monarch's grandfather Albert I was supreme commander of the Belgian army during the war years.
The monarchs will stand together under the Menin Gate.
This huge arch is carved with the names of 54-thousand Commonwealth soldiers whose bodies were never recovered from the Flanders mud.
They will also visit Saint George's church, where daily services are held to honour the war's victims.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Saint George's is probably one of the finest churches in the world, because it's not a museum, it's a living church and we commemorate World War One and World War Two, the Korean battle and also the Falklands and Vietnam and everything that's going on in the world today. It's a place of peace and every article in this church is commemorating somebody's son or daughter that was lost in the great battles around here.
SUPERCAPTION: Father Graham Oliver, Saint George's church
There are other reminders of the Great War around Ypres.
In places the trenches where soldiers fought and died have been preserved as a monument to them.
And this local museum also helps to keep their memory alive.
Its displays include this film of Albert I entering Ypres after the armistice.
On Wednesday 80 years later his grandson will lead the world in commemorating all those who lost their lives.

Cycling to Ieper (Ypres) and the Menin Gate., On to Tyne Cot
Best Cycle ride in Belgium. Zeebrugge to Brugge to Ieper (Ypres), then on to Tyne Cot cemetery at Passendaele. A great bike ride, but a very moving event. We witnessed the nightly ceremony of the Last Post at The Menin Gate.
The Last Post Ceremony From The Menin Gate Ypres (Ieper) | Euro Trip 2018 Pt18
We attended the Last Post Ceremony at The Menin Gate in Ypres (Ieper).
Every evening at 8pm precisely, the Last Post has been sounded since 1928 under the imposing arches of the Menin Gate. This memorial shaped like a Roman triumphal arch displays the names of 54.896 soldiers of the then British empire who went missing in action.
This memorial lists the names from the beginning of the war until 15 August 1917. The soldiers who went missing after 16 August 1917 until the end of the war, are mentioned on panels at Tyne Cot Cemetery in Passendale. There are 34.984 of them.
Tonight was special as it was the 100th anniversary of the 5th battle of Ypres, which was the beginning of the end for the German Empire in 1918.
The British suffered 4,695 casualties, the Belgians 4,500 net casualties from among 2,000 killed and 10,000 men ill or wounded.[15] The Allies advanced up to 18 mi (29 km), with an average advance of 6 mi (9.7 km) and captured c. 10,000 prisoners, 300 guns and 600 machine-guns. (Wikipedia)
