Chairman of the Ypres Last Post Committee with bugles

The Ceremony of the Last Post, in which firemen buglers play the Last Post under the Menin Gate at 8pm each night is, in its simplicity, one of the most moving acts of Remembrance in the world. Only on rare occasions is the ceremony other than open to all members of the public who wish to attend. The firemen are frequently asked to travel to other events to play, including trips overseas. Here from left to right is the Chairman of the Committee, Benoit Mottrie and the authors Mrs Valmai Holt and Major Tonie Holt who are holding silver bugles used in the 1920s
