tootrock Posted 10 November , 2020 Share Posted 10 November , 2020 Thanks for that. Is it my imagination or is the Last Post that is heard a different version from that played today? Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted 10 November , 2020 Share Posted 10 November , 2020 There are some slight differences there but essentially it is the same call. Depends on who taught them the call and how it was played to them. I believe that it was originally taught to them by members of the Somerset Light Infantry in 1927.

58 Div Mule Posted 14 November , 2020 Share Posted 14 November , 2020 Wonderful to see these veterans and hear their recollections. Bugle calls at the Menin Gate smack of the SLI to me! 58 DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 16 November , 2020 Share Posted 16 November , 2020 We look back 43 years to 1977 and think of it as only yesterday. Elvis' death. The Silver Jubilee, Star Wars... They looked back to the 1918, and it was still fresh in their minds, only more real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dah Posted 16 December , 2020 Share Posted 16 December , 2020 Puzzled about the cemetery tracking shot at the end.....showing thousands of headstone crosses. Presumably not a CWGC , Belgian or German cemetery - so fail to understand its inclusion in a film of old soldiers revisiting the salient in 1961.

I don't know the location or the nationality of the cemetery, or when it was actually filmed, but I politely suggest you don't forget that the Allied GRU put up, and IWGC inherited, thousands & thousands of wooden crosses before white Portland stone headstones were erected - so if filmed shortly after the war it could now perhaps be CWGC. In a way they are relevant whichever way, as originally when filmed, at the time of the broadcast and even now when viewed later, as they indicate the sheer scale of tragic loss of life during the war. RIP all. :-/ M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
