Connerty, Ian (trans.) During the First World War hundreds of thousands of British soldiers died near Ypres. In 1919 the British Minister of War, Winston Churchill, wanted to acquire the ruined city for the British Empire. In his opinion a more sacred place for the British race does not exist in all the world. This symbolic significance of Ypres for the British eventually found expression in the Menin Gate - a memorial that leaves no-one unmoved. Few people know the real background to the memorial and many leave with questions unanswered. This book is for them, sketching as it does the fascinating history and significance of the Menin Gate and the Last Post. With 95 b&w photographs. Paperback, 160 pages. Size: 240 x 160 mm. Weight: 489g.
