The last soldier killed in WW1, from the British Empire Armies, was a Canadian soldier, just before 11AM November 11. He was killed at Mons Belgium, where the British Army had met the German Army in 1914. Makes it seem even more futile, doesn't it.
I was on parade today playing in the Legion pipe band, 42 year for me. I have had the good fortune to be on parades in Holland and France, but the place and time that is exceptional too experience is in Belgium. Too be at the Menin Gate for the evening bugle ceremony, too hear the bugle call, which is done impeccably, echo through the Arch has a powerful effect and leaves a very haunting impression.
