    Since the reason for this event may not be readily apparent, the following may provide some context. The Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate in Leper (Ypres), Belgium, was part of a two-day Household Cavalry commemoration marking the centennial of its memorial column, erected and unveiled in Zandvoorde by Field Marshall Haig in May, 1924. He was the brother-in-law of Charles Sackville Pelham Lord Worsley, a 27-year-old lieutenant in the Royal Horse Guards whose death while in charge of the machine gun section in Zandwoorde provided inspiration for the column. It memorializes 120 men of the Household Cavalry, who were killed or went missing when the Germans captured the village of Zandvoorde Ridge in October 1914. The weekend remembrance, organized through the efforts of Lord Aster of Hever, Field Marshal Haig's grandson, included ceremonies in Zandvoorde and Ypres. The Household Cavalry were accompanied by their band and by the London Scottish Pipes and Drums and Field Marshall Haig's Pipes & Drums. The Household Cavalry also brought three horses. They appear in the video at the end of the parade; the lead horse and rider are in WWI kit. The Menin Gate was significant to the Household Cavalry's commemoration because inscribed on the walls are the names of those who died without trace at Zandvoorde from the 1st and 2nd Life Guards, part of the Household Cavalry. Similarly there are also the names of the dead never found in Zandvoorde from the Machine Gun section of the Royal Horse Guards (the Blues), a storied antecedent regiment of the Household Cavalry's current Blues and Royals, formed by a merger of The Blues with the 1st (Royal) Dragoons. The anecdote mentioned by one of the speakers refers to the unusual circumstances surrounding the recovery of Lord Worsley's body. It was not found until information about its whereabouts was unexpectedly conveyed through diplomatic channels by the Germans who had buried him and marked his grave with a cross. The land where he was interred was bought by his widow but after her husband's body was exhumed and reburied elsewhere as part of post war centralization efforts, the empty grave became the site for the Household Cavalry memorial column.

    ANZAC day is obscene, invading some else's country on the other side of the planet for yet another Imperial adventure. How many tens of thousands of young Turkish lads died defending their country? When are you going to commemorate them? How many grieving Turkish widows, orphans did this Imperial adventure create? I was on ANZAC Catafalque party in 2010 and all the Female officer speaker mentioned was the sacrifice of Australian women on deployment. When are you going to commemorate the tens of thousands of Boer babies, children and women who died in South African British concentration camps? People we help kill by directly assisting the British in their illegal war against the Boer republics to seize their Gold mines? When are you going to commemorate the appropriate +2 million Vietnamese fighting the USA? And then we can start on Afghanistan and Iraq. You don't see the Germans commemorating the 22nd of June and the Invasion of the USSR that resulted in +25 million dead.
