The daily tribute

This daily tribute - performed by a team of local buglers - serves to honour the memory of the soldiers of the British Empire, who fought and died in the immortal Ypres Salient during the First World War. It is the aim of the Last Post Association to maintain this ceremony in perpetuity.

Your steadfast devotion to the memories of our fallen is far-reaching. Our troop learned of your kindness during a presentation by one of our volunteers who had the privilege of visiting your memorial during the summer months. Thank you for carrying out this solemn duty.
