This ceremony is organized by the Belgian Last Post Association, a non-profit organization based in Ypres. This is the same association which is taking care of the daily ceremonies at Menin Gate, with the Last Post being performed at 8 o clock sharp, by at least six bugle players. This traditional final salute to the fallen is performed by the bugle players (all are active or past serving members of the local fire brigade) in honour of the memory of the soldiers of the former British Empire and its allies, who died in the Ypres Salient during the First World War.

  • IN SEARCH of MINERVA's OWL Canada‟S Army and Staff
    IN SEARCH OF MINERVA’S OWL Canada‟s Army and Staff Education (1946-1995) by HOWARD GERARD COOMBS A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada January, 2010 Copyright © Howard Gerard Coombs, 2010 ABSTRACT The intellectual history of the Canadian Army from 1946 to 1995 can be traced through the curriculum utilized by the Canadian Army Staff College and the Canadian Forces College to educate the Canadian Army staff officer in conducting warfare within theatres of war. This body of knowledge was analogous to what today comprises the operational level of war. It is a structured vision of conducting conflict that was reaffirmed and sustained by institutional memory created in the crucible of the Second World War and traces its antecedents to the military operations of the Napoleonic Age. These ideas were preserved almost unchanged throughout the Cold War until the introduction of operational art in the late 1980s, as a result of United States influence. The ability of the Canadian Army to maintain this professional knowledge, as a coherent, unchanging whole throughout a period buffeted by social and political change indicates the separateness of the military profession within Canada. This arose from the absence of consistent and durable political guidance during the immediate post war era. As a result the use of the Canadian military as an instrument of national power became disjointed. By default, the unifying factor in Canadian defence activities was maintaining relevance within alliances, particularly in supporting the Pax Americana.
