We attended the Last Post Ceremony at The Menin Gate in Ypres (Ieper). www.greatwar.co.uk/events/menin-gate-last-post-ceremony.htm
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. www.toerismeieper.be/en/page/334-339-252/last-post.html
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)
