Engraved door, a model of the battlefield at Ypres, benefiting from an archway in the form of a small triumphal arch

A model of the battlefield is engraved on the door. The archway, shaped like a small triumphal arch, is covered with the names of the British soldiers who died in the butchery of the Ypres Salient, one of the bloodiest of the First World War. We are moved to read the 54,896 names of those who came from all over the Empire to fight. Wooden crosses decorated with flowers are regularly placed in memory of the fallen. Every evening at 8pm, two of the town's firemen play the Last Post on the bugle. A vibrant work by architect Sir Reginald Blomfield.

Un acte de mémoire
Très émouvante cette porte de Menin en forme d'arc de triomphe où, depuis presque la fin de la guerre 14-18, absolument tous les soir à 20:00, plus d'une centaine de soldats britanniques paradent et un des leurs joue au clairon "The Last Post" qui commémore le fin des hostilités et qui rendent ainsi hommage à c eux qui ont sacrifié leur vie pour préserver la nôtre.

Majestueux, émouvant et reconnaissant. Toute qu’une histoire gravée sur ces pierres. Vous devez assisté à la cérémonie sans aucun doute, très prenant. Prévoyez arriver très à l’avance pour être dans les premières place pour bien voir car il y a vraiment beaucoup de gens c’est incroyable mais faut le voir pour le croire, tous ces gens rassemblés pour se souvenir de cet immense sacrifice.
