The ANZACS & Canadians are oft forgotten, yet they gave so much, for the Empire. Please acknowledge their huge sacrifice.

The people of 'Little Belgium' remember the fallen every day of the year at the Menim Gate, God bless you all and thank you.

AS an Englishman I am proud of all nationalities who fought in WW1 and WW2 , but praise indeed for this stirling rendition from the RCMP

We were so united back then. Canadian, Anzac, Irish, Welsh. South African, English and Scottish. Look at us now. These one million would turn in their grave.

I am not a Scot, not even of Scot descent. Quite the opposite, in fact, being that I'm French-Canadian... However, the sound of the pipes and drums always gets me right in the heart... The melancholy that it is echoing is very powerful, very poignant. Huge respect to those who have fallen for the good of the world...

A wee note from Scotland: God bless Canada. One of the most delightful countries on earth.

Our very own Royal Canadian Mounted Police, we are so proud of you!!

I can't hear the pipes without choking up ~ used to be a problem when on parade with one of these bands ~ Scots, Ghurka's, Police Units... always had the same effect. Visited the Menin Gate last week and it breaks your bloody heart that men have learnt nothing and the carnage still goes on.

I visited the Menin Gate in 2001 to pay homage to my Dads cousin whose name is on the wall, Pt JF Dunstan 37 Battalion 1St AIF, Australian Infantry Forces, was KIA at Warneton Belgium 10/02/1918. his body was never recovered.

I think everyone should visit the Menin Gate and watch that ceremony, beginning to end. It is one of the most moving experiences you will ever have. Most nights you will only hear the Last Post played,but to stand beneath that massive monument with all of those names on it with the knowledge that they ran out of space and had to add a wall for the missing at Tyne Cot cemetery. My grandfather was an American WWI vet, a machine gunner and knowing what the war did to those that lived through it, one can only imagine what was going through the minds of those who perished.

I was there when this was taking place. I am from NL, Canada and we took a group of 17 high school students with us and it was amazing.

From Scotland - We all are proud of Canada - Scotland over the water.

Respect and admiration - I was with the Aussies a few years ago and the CO was called out to read the dedication at short notice - not a dry eye in the house...
-
I did about three last post and they played highland cathedral and I just gives you goose bumps every time
-

whenever or wherever I am the sound of the last post brings tremendous emotional thought to me and my eye pay tribute to those gallant men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice so today we live safe and well because of those fallen ones whom shall and will never be forgotten.
