Last Post Ieper 23 June 2008

The Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate on Monday 28th June 2008. The ceremony has been held every night since 1928 at the main British World War One memorial in Ieper (Ypres) Belgium.

Please take a look at Video History Today http://www.videohistorytoday.com , the first web site to offer unique collections of re-usable original video clips designed for teachers and students.

The idea behind Video History Today is to give schools the raw material to make mini-documentaries and video essays on historical subjects.

Initial packages focus on World War I (Somme and Ieper areas), The Holocaust, the American Civil War and D-Day & Normandy 1944.

There is something strange about the war-graves in France and Belgium. I'll never forget the time I visited them. Ypres was the strangest place of all. It seemed to be deserted when I visited and I've always wondered why that was. It was like Bedern in York.
