Rent a Guide - Battlefield Tours

Driving in Ieper

The plan was 'simple'. Drive to Ypres (Ieper in Dutch), drive through Ypres and go someplace else.

Road works turned it into a 'drive along every road in town' sightseeing event.

Battlefield Tour 2018 - Juno Beach Centre Summer Institute

I was fortunate enough to attend the Juno Beach Centre's Summer Institute and Battlefield Tour this summer. I was part of a group of teachers from across Canada who explored World War I and II sites, monuments, graveyards, and museums throughout Belgium and France. It was an unforgettable and completely life-changing experience. I hope you enjoy this highlight reel I made in honour of Remembrance Day.

Remembrance Day -The Last Post / The Rouse

My bugle (Cornet) tribute to Canadian Heroes on the Remembrance Day. I played The Rouse following The Last Post with a short (shorter than usual) silence period.

The Last Post call is used to signal the end of the day when the duty officer returns from the tour of the camp and quarters. The call First Post is used to mark the start of the inspection. The name derives from the practice of inspecting all the sentry posts around such a camp at the end of the day, and playing a call at each of them. The Last Post was thus the last point of this inspection, and the call signalling that this post had been inspected marked the end of the military day.

In addition to its normal garrison use, the Last Post call had another function at the close of a day of battle. It signalled to those who were still out and wounded or separated that the fighting was done, and to follow the sound of the call to find safety and rest. Its use in Remembrance Day ceremonies in Commonwealth nations has two generally unexpressed purposes: The first is an implied summoning of the spirits of the Fallen to the cenotaph, the second is to symbolically end the day so that the period of silence before the Rouse is blown becomes in effect a ritualized night vigil.
