I used to live near Ypres when I was young. My Uncle used to take me to listen to the last post at least once a week. I'm upset that the younger generation of people are beginning to forget about the sacrifices that these men made. Great video, it's good to see that people still are showing their appreciation.

@longbow1415 Added to which, untold grief and lost generations.

[ronsiris]

if all the pain and suffering,if all the heartache and loss could be imagined and comprehended by leaders of nations, surely they would never declare war again.

if not for their sacrifice,i probably would have never existed.every moment of my life,every breath i have taken i owe to them.i prey you rest in peace and love.

[michaelwright999]

@PGoderis was there last week, I agree with you.

[BethiieeXx]

@PGoderis Agreed! It must have been very moving to live so close to a place with such a sad history.

Please dont think that all young people are forgetting though, not all people our age are like that..hundreds of us have volunteered to join Armed Forces charities and cadet forces; throughout each year we march, perform and recruit in the hope of keeping the memory of these men alive! We're with you on this, and hopefully we can encourage other young people to do the same. Don't be upset! :)

Visited these battlefields of WW1 on the Somme, France in 2005 with 23 other aussies. A complete generation lost for all time. To walk between row upon row of young names lost....man's inhumanity to man, rest peacefully brave souls.

The local chaps. Great job. Honestly, best thing I`ve seen, all via YTube: that most critical. local chaps. Great job. Honestly, best thing I`ve seen, all via YTube: that most critical, and detailed bit, with the current family, their homemade love for ancient grave. That is shattering. As Philip Larkin said, "love will remain" - here, it happily does. Got me in tears, and I left the UK years ago.

Bloody good job - both positioner of that small mark, and the filmer for taking it. x

Wow! The very best song for this...

Rest in peace boys! We will remember you.
