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.

A lost relative, only 20 years old in 1917. We remember him, very proud and very sad.

As I am currently on an overseas posting I will miss the traditional Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa, Canada which I have been fortunate enough to attend every year since my move to that city 27 years ago. In the absence of any local ceremony, I went to your website so that I could at least hear the Last Post without which a Rememberance Day is not complete for me. Thanks you and I look forward to attending the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate as soon as I have an opportunity to be in that part of the world.

I have been to the service at the Menin gate a lot and everytime I get a lump in my throat and a tear. The people in Ieper are very helpful and caring and I enjoy every trip I got o Ieper...Thank to all the people for looking after the war graves.

On October 9th we visited the WW1 sites for the third time. The Netherlands were neutral (?) during WW1. In our Dutch education we learned almost nothing regarding WW1, so we were overwhelmed when we saw with our own eyes what took place in the Westhoek. We participated also three times the "Last Post". It is breathtaking to see that after so many years so many people remember those who were killed. May the Last Post help people not to forget those young boys who died for our freedom. When you see what those young men and boys had to suffer you understand that we may never forget them!!!

I was fortunate enough to visit the Menin Gate on ANZAC day 2003. I would like to thank the people of Ieper who continue to recognise the fallen allies in such an honorable way. It was such a privilege to be present for the ANZAC day ceremonies. Thank you.

Back on Nov 1, 2005...I was part of a Military Honor Guard, along with some Royal Canadian Mounted Police members that were all of Aboriginal descent and from all over Canada. We had the greatest Honor of being invited to part take in this long standing tradition. Also present were our Aboriginal Veterans, who were given the Honor of laying wreaths.

I would like to thank your organization in keeping this long standing Honor and tradition to give thanks for those that fought in World War 1 and 2. Once my young son is old enough to take a long plane ride I wish to come back and have my picture taken with my son on where I stood on this memorable night. And to take him to the resting place of Private Westley Latham, which I had the chance to see during this trip. He was a member of my family on my father's mother's side (her maiden name was Latham). And that the hospitality of your great city was way beyond the "call of duty".

As a member of Unley Concert Band, I was privileged to be able to participate in the Last Post ceremony on three consecutive nights in mid April as part of the marching band's tour of Belgium and France for Anzac Day. The ceremony was a very moving experience for all in the band. Thank you to the association for allowing us to play in what was a very important, emotional weekend and for maintaining this very moving commemoration for so many years. Lest we forget.

In march of 2009. i went on a tour of the Canadian battle fields withs my school, and one thing that took place while we were in Ieper was that we went to the Menin Gate, we layed some flowers in memory of the fallen, and it was very emotional, but something happed when the ceremony was done, we saw a Veteran there, who was with his sons, we took it apond our selfs to go over and say thank you. we were all really emotional, and we were happy. i am an army cadet soo this is especialy emotional for me, i take part in many ceremonies. But this one was by far the most amazing and emotional, i have a goal to come back to see more, and to learn more, lest we forget!
