Description

La Puerta de Menin puede considerarse el símbolo general de la Primera Guerra Mundial. El monumento es un diseño de Sir Reginald Blomfield. Él diseñó este monumento como un arco triunfal clásico. Pero la Puerta de Menin también es un ‘monumento a los desaparecidos’. En el interior se encuentran los nombres de aproximadamente 55,000 soldados del Commonwealth, que fueron dados por desaparecidos antes del 15 de agosto de 1917. Este monumento es cada noche el escenario de la ceremonia de Last Post. Cada noche suena puntualmente a las 20:00 la “Last Post” bajo la Puerta de Menin. Las actividades diarias se detienen para recordar a los soldados caídos de la Primera Guerra Mundial. La ceremonia de Last Post ha sido organizada desde 1928 por la Last Post Association. Durante todo el año se puede asistir a la solemnidad contenida de Last Post. El 11 de noviembre se lleva a cabo una ceremonia especial para conmemorar el Armisticio.
