The Last Post has been sounded at the Menin Gate Ypres, ever since the Memorial was erected, until the Germans invaded Belgium. The Belgiums then stopped the nightly ceremony on 10th May, 1940. Ypres was liberated on the 6th Sept, 1944. and the Ceremony was restarted on the 7th Sept, 1944

My father who was born in 1945 used to read this to me when I was a child. I’m 36 now with a son of my own, my dad died in 2014. His father fought In ww2, my grandad. This is one of the most emotional poems, and one with a personal connection for me. I hope we never have to send our sons to war again, but it is a real possibility with the state of the world. Thank you for this video

Thank you Steve for sharing this ceremony with us.I am always overcome with emotion and as the tears fall, as they always do. I thank with all my heart, the ones who gave their lives and the ones who returned and whose lives were never the same due the horrors of what they lived through.

Lyrics 3:07: Only the truth that in life we have spoken, Only the deeds when our journey is run. These shall pass onwards when we are forgotten only remembered for what we have done. Who’ll sing the anthems, who’ll tell the stories? Will the line hold? Will it scatter and run? Shall we at last be united in glory only remembered for what we have done. Only remembered, only remembered only remembered for what we have done. Shall we at last be united in glory only remembered for what we have done only remembered for what we have done.

As a Brit, I had never heard of this poet untli the Vicar read @Young Fellow My Lad' at the remembrance service. It moved my wife and I to tears. As you this is not a poet normally credited here, Auden and Owen being the most common go-to war poets. This is brilliant and will return to it often having now discovered it.

😲Poor Guy. He seems to have grazed his field down to the ground. i think he was trying to beg you for food. For a donkey, he was not fat. Imagine him without all that hair. Someone needs to feel his ribs and withers, etc. to see what flesh he's in. I'm sure he's getting fed, but perhaps his diet is not nutritious enough or maybe he needs more good hay during the day since that field has been picked clean..
