 | | The vast walls of the gate were to prove inadequate to house the names of all the fallen the bloody war claimed, 54,896 names are on those walls and none of them are forgotten. |
 | | A further 34,984 names which are still being added to, to this day are on the Portland stone walls at Tyne Cot Cemetery, Passendale. |
 | | Every night at 8.00pm the Ieper (Ypres) Police stop the traffic at the Menin Gate – the gate is British territory – for the buglers of the Ieper (Ypres) Fire Brigade to sound the last post in the honour of the fallen. |
