- The Last Post Ceremony takes place every evening under the Menin Gate Memorial.
Built as a memorial to the missing, Menin Gate is dedicated to the British and Commonwealth soldiers who were killed in the Ypres Salient and whose graves are unknown, many of whom died at the Battle of Passchendaele.
THE BATTLE OF PASSCHENDAELE
Fought between July and November 1917, Passchendaele, also known as the Third Battle of Ypres, remains one of the most notorious battles of the First World War.
In three-and-a-half months of fighting, an advance of less than five miles saw an estimated 550,000 Allied and German troops killed, wounded or lost.
Around 90,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers were missing; 50,000 buried without being identified, and 42,000 never recovered from the Belgian fields of Flanders that turned into an ocean of mud.
PASSCHENDAELE 100
The 100th anniversary of Passchendaele provides an opportunity to view WW1 in a new way and commemorate the Service and sacrifice of those who lost their lives.

My father remembered this service when he passed through the Menin Gate in 1944, when they had just restarted the service after the German occupation. He always felt sympathy for the Belgians for ever after, for remembering our dead on their land!
We will always remember our British and other Commonwealth friends. May that bond never be severed!
Such a truly beautiful way to remember our heroes. !
It's suddenly become very dusty here. RIP the fallen. Raise a toast to all them all. They will never be forgotten.

We saw this two years ago ... all I could do was cry ... it is good to remember, to remember with a promise to do better.
My Father's uncle name is on the Meinn Gate. His name was Michael Ralph, from Carlow ireland. He was only 21years of age.
Very moving ceremony. RIP fallen heroes.

I was born and brought up in Britain. Iserved in the French army because they treated their flags with respect. Britain does not. It is an insult to a flag to have it on the ground. What happened to the captured British flags in Spain or at Waterloo, or in the Crimea against Rus? They were thrown on the ground in front of the Commanding General.
We never allowed a flag to touch the ground, we had respect.
