Comment I was privileged to attend the last post ceremony on 8th July whilst visited the area with my wife to visit the grave and the area where her grandfather died in 1917.
The ceremony was particularly moving as I had not expected quite so many people attending, but it was made special by so many young people from English and local schools taking part on that day. The reciting of the exhortation by a young Northern English lad brought a huge lump to my throat and tears to my eyes.
It was pleasing to know that so many young people of today were still remembering those of so many generations before them who sacrificed their lives; that they in time will pass on this message to their own children who in turn will also remember them. Also let us hope they never have to experience such conflict.

Comment We attended the ceremony on Saturday June 13th and 2 of our pupils had the honour of laying a wreath on behalf of the school and the Huntly Ex-Servicemen's Club. I felt great pride in their dignity whilst laying the wreath.
The whole ceremony was extremely moving and it should remain as a constant reminder against the futility of war but of the bravery of those who have given their lives in comflict.

Comment I was aware of this ceremony but had no real concept of the impact it has, when you attend personally. It is much more than a wonderful tribute to those thousands who died in the terrible conflict of 1914-18. It is a poignant reminder of the personal tragedy of war and the ultimate price paid by so many young antecedents of ourselves. The silent respect shown during the ceremony is very moving and makes the past very present,

Comment I've attended the ceremony 5 times in the last eighteen months and layed a wreath for Private J Mulalley (Panel 42 of the gate) on two occasions.

For my fortieth birthday my mother in law paid foe my family history to be looked into. I've now been made aware that a Great Great Uncle rests in Bard Cemetery close to Ieper and I never knew he was there. Another teenager slaughtered.

See you soon Ieper I'll be back for my Uncle.
