When you think of the thousands of Canadian boys that died in that bloody mess, my heart swells with pride as Brian marches, alone, down that street. They earned it.
I had the honour of marching the Menin Gate, with my cadet’s. We participated in the nightly ceremony’s... to this day it is the biggest honour I’ve ever done in my life.. it was hard trying not to cry in formation, when we heard the last post I had a chill go up my spine... let’s never forget the fallen.
I am Canadian, but my ancestors were born elsewhere. In my heart I feel like my family and very extended family were Canadian. I would die for this Country.🇨🇦
+LEGOCREATOR Yeah, I love all that mud and slaughter and pain and suffering and the fact that, because most of the dead were never recovered, the whole area is one big cemetary filled with the remains of unnecessarily killed millions. Love it.
Such a lovely ceremony and its held every day! I remember going to it when i was in Ypres its a very haunting walk actually after going through the museum in the old cathedral. Though i wouldn't change any of it for the world.
Cameron McPeak Same buddy that lil museum with the flick pictures and underground tunnels, Some sights but I wouldn't change it either, Hence me searching this stuff up 10yrs on 👍
And remember - though hard to believe - the Menin Gate is only a fraction of the men remembered for their sacrifice in that area of the line. There are more on the rear wall of Tyne Cot Cemetery, and more New Zealanders at Buttes and Messines Ridge. Despite the size of the Gate, not all of the names could fit on it.
My late father's Canadian cousin would be very saddened to witness the seeming indifference shown by members of the public shown to the piper. He was a member of the liberating force. Shame on the locals shown in this clip.
The Maple Leaf Forever is TEN THOUSAND TIMES better than Oh Canada as our true National Anthem. The second hides the sacrifice of our brave men and women who fought and died for the sake of others.
God Bless you, God Bless our homeland, the Dominion of Canada, God Save the Queen...on the centenary of Armistice....keep remembering...

I've been there four times, it is an emotional ceremony, seeing the names of those with have no known grave, many boy gives food for thought.
Thank you.
Nicely done Brian! I love Ypres and it's history! Lest we forget.

Looking forward to a visit this year. But will be very emotional I'm sure 🙄
Maple Leaf For Ever....the National Anthem of those who served in the World's largest and longest conflicts.
I think you’d find that to be “God Save The King”.
Love It!

David Tinker i completely agree with you the locals should be ashamed , on the other hand what a great piper .
Sorry it's so many years later but why should the locals be ashamed do you remember each day the fallen like they do in Ypres with the Last Post
Dirty buckles - have a word RSM!
Worst thing ever is a RSM ragging on at dirty uniform
Lest we forget.
When you think that thousands of Canadians marched that very same route... Chills...
SUPERB LWF
My god thats braw
I think I know who the piper is.
If you'd do the maple leaf forever longer it would not be easily missed..

Lol, the Germans will never know you're coming and won't be ready to mow you down 😁
Wow, that was brave. Did the Germans not shoot at him?
Ctrl-Z 2500 bagpipers served in the Great War. Half of them never came home
What the piper on D day. They thougt he had gone mad so they left him alone.
What a racket. Those things need a volume control.
