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.
hello , i am the grandson of a Belgain soldier from the first W.W, every year we pay respect to the Canadian airmen in Belguim an Holland , my honnor is that i play the last post on the cemetry greets from Belguim
Robert Neven Hello Robert Iam Welsh but of Flemish origin I visited Ypres Nearly Fifty Years ago and have never forgotten the experience Cymru am Byth .
Canada lost her youth in the first war. My Grandmother served as a Nurse her husband was killed in Action. They were the only married Canadian couple who served overseas.
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...
Si tu as des origines bretonnes parmis les 1er colons de Québec ça compte aussi, cher "cousin". Le courage et la bravoure n'ont pas de frontière, c'est ce qui leur donne de la valeur.
Les cornemuse était aussi jouer en France et en Égypte. Comme Canadien français cette musique est aussi dans notre héritage. Bagpipes were played in France and in Egypt. As a French Canadian pipe music is in our blood.
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...
My non blood grandfather was born in Newfoundland before confederation. He still hangs the Newfie flag instead of the Canadian one, we care about our heritage in Canada.

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.
As Americans we can only dream of how the Commonwealth suffered all those years before we engaged them. It was only an accedent of history that Washington joined the rebels out of fear Virginia would get burned for the sins of Lexington and Concord.
I was just starting school when WW2 started but I rembered all cousins and uncless being in Germany, France and England. Also I had friends serving with the Canadian forces. God bless them all Jim Perry
I've had the honour of being present twice at the Menin Gate ceremony. Very humbling to see all those names and to visit the graves of my uncles from WW2 nearby. We will remember them.
GOD BLESS all the young men whose names are on the Menin Gate All in Heaven now including a Great Uncle of my own he travelled far far from home never to return
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.
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.
Have visited here and the Somme paying my respects to the brave men women and children who fought and died. Was taken aback how many people from different countries had fought in the war. LEST WE FORGET
Such a simple but so powerful a service with it's meaning. To the thousands of men who gave their lives in the service of their country - the respect you receive on the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI is deeply felt and pierces the hearts of all who observed this simple but beautiful service. We are filled with gratitude for the sacrifice you gave with the giving of your lives with in the service of your country. My president did not attend a service to remember the 100.000 Americans who gave their lives because he was afraid he would have been mocked because he elected to run from serving his country when he was called to serve America (Vietnam) (and he would have been mocked as he has been mocked for not attending). The people of American remember all you young men who gave your lives in the War to end Wars (those then living hoped and prayed). This simple little service brought a tear to my eyes and caused me to think of the pain your families must have felt when they received the word that you had passed on. You gave your lives in the service of America - unfortunately not many remember you these days (especially our current leader) but on the eleventh month, the eleventh day, the eleventh hour we remember you and thank you for your service and we are sorry that you gave your life to rest in this far off place far from your home. We the people of America remember you even if your President doesn't.
Never will. They remove the anthem from our schools but I still remember. On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month the guns finally fell silent after years of horror
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.
Real men learn its politicians that don't sadly I watched the remberance day recently and thought when the political leaders marched wtf are you doing there your ilk started the carnage
@@yodaslovetoy Usually true nowadays, but in the past a number of political leaders served in the Armed Forces, and fought in wars. Either before or during office. Several US Presidents, Canadian Prime Ministers, and British Prime Ministers served. A number were decorated for their actions. In the older days a good number of leaders knew exactly what the experience was like, as they had been through it.
My Grandfather was KOSB, wounded by mustard gas at Ypres in 1917, died far too young. All I have is a picture, he looked like a kind man, I wish I could have known him.
The buglers who play Last Post are from the Ypres Fire Brigade. These buglers have been playing Last Post every evening since 1926, except during the German occupation in World War II.
@@boerewors79 The first time was on 2 July, 1928. The one in the video is probably 7 (or 8) May 2015, which would have been the 29937th (or 29938th) time the Last Post was played.
The best time to visit the Menin Gate is in the quiet of the night, after the crowds have gone, but when you can best sense the Legions that passed through that place. Sad but not disheartening.
Flowers of the forest followed by Highland Cathedral. When the whole band pipes up....wow! Wow, Canada, wow. Canada and Scotland are only separated by a wee bit of uisge and that is about it.
Chris Müller As you say Chris, I was amazed and yet not surprised, given your countries history of composing great music, to discover recently that Highland Cathedral was a German composition! As a Scot, I chime with your sentiments! Mendelssohn, of course, wrote both the Hebrides Overture, and the Scottish Symphony, inspired by his many visits to Scotland. I also have to say that, I’ve always received the most generous and warm welcome in Germany. Maybe the kilt helps!
Respect to you then..and your Great Uncle...for my Maternal Grandmothers Brothers were Desert Rats and my Paternal Grandmothers Brother died in France in 1916
I love my Scottish ancestry. After seeing Canadia still has scottish and british military ship still in them, I began to like Scotland and Canada alike🇨🇦🏴
Our laws and morals have been built off the British, I'm a Sullivan so I'm of Irish heritage and Quebecois on my mom's side, Boisvert (Greentree). If there was a ww3 we would still all join together across the Commonwealth. It's a blood bond, we should honour and embrace this connection, we sacrificed so much together
Bagpipe music takes my mind off all the mess that's happening in this world today. I just love the sound. How those people can march a country mile while not losing a step, walking, and playing the instrument without missing a step or a beat.
As a Scot And an Ex Soldier Iv worked with Canadian troops at Various places & time's, A Top Class act is your Canuk in All Honesty easily the most professional soldiers I worked with, By a Mile, And I speak for a lot of my Ex Mates, Of course there's that Scottish thing that ties us but never bind's us..... Top Top class Troops.
Merci à tous ces jeunes gens sacrifiés en terres inconnues pour défendre notre liberté et notre patrie. Est-ce utopique de rêver à un monde sans guerre ? Tout ce sang versé dans les larmes, les cris, le bruit des canons, la peur au ventre dans des tranchées gazées, chamboulées, bombardées... Nous ne vous oublierons jamais ! 💐🌷🌹
I’m the grand nephew of a fallen soldier, killed at bataille de fosse a l’eau august the 28th 1914 and he still hasn’t been found. Sergeant 7 R.M.T. Infantry Ahmed ben Belgacem Chaachoua To all of you who came here because they lost a loved on too, may they find eternal rest. And we will remember them
Yes they are for that is their sacrifice...and I for one will not forget..and know this, one of my last memories of my late Father was at remembrance Sunday when he cried because he knew..and his Grandson was there as a cadet.
I love Maple Leaf Forever and thought the same as you at one point but then I thought a bit more about it. Lyrically it's a bit to exclusively British Isles. I am about as WASP as it gets (Welsh surname, 50% English, 25% Scottish, 25% Northern Irish) but I love that Canada is multicultural and MLF isn't very inviting to anyone of other national backgrounds. It's also based on war and the defeat of the French. I don't think we need any more fuel to that fire.
Joseph Henry- Indeed they did not only make Canada proud, but here in Scotland we honour their bravery and courage in two world wars. We will never forget. Long Live Canada
You poor poor people that are brain washed... the government said that eating shit was good for you, so you all better go buy more toilet paper with mouth wash....
Well Nick Jordan I haven't forgotten them or any one else who fought for the Allied cause And I humbly thank each and every one of them for the 75 years of life and freedom I have enjoyed.
People today cannot grasp the level of carnage that happened ay Ypres. They fought over that town for almost the entire duration of the war, likely leaving it the most shelled place in all of human history. Unexploded artillery shells are still found daily by the dozens, over a hundred years after the war ended. Cemeteries cover the region. The battles fought there caused over HALF A MILLION casualties and turned the entire region into a Moonscape. Ypres today is a new creation, as it was wiped off the map by 1918. Lest we forget.
The four buglers are from the Ypres fire brigade. They have been performing the Last Post every evening since 1919, except for 1940-1944 when the occupying Germans forbade the ceremony.

A little older Steph, The 1830s in Quebec...and it was on our coinage in 1850. We were also wearing the Maple leaf in South Africa.🍁.....and the Maple Leaf Forever was composed in 1867.
@@rpm1796 yes, I know The Maple Leaf Forever was composed then. I just commented that it's a melody that can't be mistaken. Also, though the maple leaf was worn previously, we were always just a unit of the British army. It was in The Great War that we came into our Nationhood as Canadians and not just a colony. I'm not looking for an argument and all you said is true. I'm just clarifying what I said because it, too, is also true.
Someone once said to me that The Menin Gate is in Germany. I told her its at Ypres in Belgium. No, no she insisted, its in Germany. She knew. Until I told her that I`ve been to The Menin Gate whilst never having been to Germany.
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow, between the crosses row on row....Lest we forget, rest easy soldier, lay your head,your service is done now and we shall not forget.
RIP my brothers. Sad that a politician couldn't be bothered to lay that wreath, but than again, let it be lain by a member of the brotherhood. Sic Semper Tyrannis.
To me Canadian leaders are much more patriotic than Americans are since the governing ministers are simply a part of the legislative assembly rather than what we have here in the USA of Secretaries appointed for no other reason than administrative fiat.
It’s kinda sad this seems to have become more of a tourist event than a commemorative event. Everyone filming in cell phones, hardly noticing the thousands of names on the walls behind them...
1st Batt QoH 76 I don’t know how you can say they hardly notice the names on the wall!!! You can’t bloody miss them. Besides, I think you’ll find that a great portion of the folks you see here are locals who come here every year without fail.
You are so wrong; before and after the ceremony people do read those names, not every name sadly there are far too many. It is definitely not merely a tourist event please go and see, you will be pleasantly surprised. It is only natural that people want mementos as well and to share the experience so that you and I can go onto You tube and watch something they may never have the opportunity to see for real.
The people of 'Little Belgium' remember the fallen every day of the year at the Menim Gate, God bless you all and thank you.
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.
And wonder why they gave all Matty.
@@MegaBoilermaker They did it for their mates.
Thank you to the person who uploaded this. Anyone watching this is fortunate; anyone who was actually there in person was privileged.

Unexploded artillery shells are still found daily by the dozens, over a hundred years after the war ended. Cemeteries cover the region. The battles fought there caused over HALF A MILLION casualties and turned the entire region into a Moonscape. Ypres today is a new creation, as it was wiped off the map by 1918. Lest we forget.
I have stood at the Menin Gate, many times, I carried a standard, lowered for the last post, we will remember them.
The four buglers are from the Ypres fire brigade. They have been performing the Last Post every evening since 1919, except for 1940-1944 when the occupying Germans forbade the ceremony.
In memory of my Great Uncle, KIA at the Battle of Loos, serving with the Black Watch.

Fantastic both music and setting.
The Maple Leaf Forever! Can't mistake that melody. It was The Great War that made the Maple Leaf Canada's national emblem.
A little older Steph,
The 1830s in Quebec...and it was on our coinage in 1850.
We were also wearing the Maple leaf in South Africa.🍁.....and the Maple Leaf Forever was composed in 1867.
@@rpm1796 yes, I know The Maple Leaf Forever was composed then. I just commented that it's a melody that can't be mistaken. Also, though the maple leaf was worn previously, we were always just a unit of the British army. It was in The Great War that we came into our Nationhood as Canadians and not just a colony.
I'm not looking for an argument and all you said is true. I'm just clarifying what I said because it, too, is also true.
The Maple leaf Forever was written in A tavern in Toronto.
those who become rich from War
who flinch not at the deaths of
millions of young men
Shame be upon you.
The best sound in the world...
My wife's great uncle's name is on that wall in the Menin Gate!
I love the way they come on playing the maple leaf forever
They gave their all for us all, today.
“The Maple Leaf Forever” 🇨🇦🍁🎵💕
God saive the braves we never forget them,I am very proud of theme
Someone once said to me that The Menin Gate is in Germany. I told her its at Ypres in Belgium. No, no she insisted, its in Germany. She knew. Until I told her that I`ve been to The Menin Gate whilst never having been to Germany.
Rip brothers in arms.

I'm shedding a wee tear watching this
GodBless The #RCMP 🇨🇦❤️
Was there years ago, stood n tears welled out of my eyes thinking of all those boys killed for nothing
Emily Robinson No not for nothing ,for our freedom
Freedom
The waste of life for what for rich people to profit from.
Was there a few years a go 2 of my uncles were killed at Ypres
Grace S yes this was long before I was born I was tracing my family history
Yes I know it so well " They played the Highland Cathedral"
I was there when the young people of Canada sang their national anthem, not long ago, I piped my eye then. Probably do it again.
FOTF was very well played.
Choked up every time.
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow, between the crosses row on row....Lest we forget, rest easy soldier, lay your head,your service is done now and we shall not forget.
a century ago, the war to end all wars ceased. rip charlie o' connor, rainbow division, us army, ww1....
Both my grandfathers served as did my grandmother.
Can't beet the pipes lots country love them
RIP my brothers. Sad that a politician couldn't be bothered to lay that wreath, but than again, let it be lain by a member of the brotherhood. Sic Semper Tyrannis.
To me Canadian leaders are much more patriotic than Americans are since the governing ministers are simply a part of the legislative assembly rather than what we have here in the USA of Secretaries appointed for no other reason than administrative fiat.
Remember them
WE CAN NEVER REPAY WHAT THEY DID,AND CANADA WERE GOOD ALLIES IN WW11 GOD BLESS THEM ALL AMEN!
The Maple Leaf Forever should have been our national anthem from the day it was written !!!!
Canada - don't forsake us when we need you most
pray the lord for brave men and women of the military. we are always in your dept. Ty from the bottom of my heart
It’s kinda sad this seems to have become more of a tourist event than a commemorative event. Everyone filming in cell phones, hardly noticing the thousands of names on the walls behind them...
1st Batt QoH 76 I don’t know how you can say they hardly notice the names on the wall!!! You can’t bloody miss them. Besides, I think you’ll find that a great portion of the folks you see here are locals who come here every year without fail.
You are so wrong; before and after the ceremony people do read those names, not every name sadly there are far too many. It is definitely not merely a tourist event please go and see, you will be pleasantly surprised. It is only natural that people want mementos as well and to share the experience so that you and I can go onto You tube and watch something they may never have the opportunity to see for real.
