Every visitor to Ieper should visit the Menin Gate. This impressive
archway was built as a memorial to the Soldiers of the Commonwealth
that died and have no known grave. Recorded on it's walls are
the names of those 54,896 soldiers who died between 1914 and 1917.
This great monument was unable even in it's vastness to record
all the fallen soldiers and an additional 30,000 names are recorded
on the nearby walls of the Commonwealth's largest war grave cemetery
at Tyne Cot and are still being added. Every night at 8PM the
bugulers of the Ieper Fire Brigade sound the Last Post as a salute
to the fallen at the Menin Gate.
