The Brooding Soldier, Vancouver Corner, Belgium
The Canadian 'Brooding Soldier' Memorial at St Juliaan, Belgium is magnificent in its simplicity and should be visted on any trip to the World War One battlefields around Ieper (Ypres).
The memorial, made from a single block of granite, is 35ft-high and shows the upper body of a Canadian soldier bowing his head with his hands crossed onto what looks like a gun butt.
The memorial won second prize in a Canadian competition to design a war memorial (the Vimy Ridge Memorial design won the competition) and was designed by Chapman Clemesha. It was unveiled on July 8 1923.
This video has no commentary but I thought it was such an important memorial that to leave it out of the Video History Today channel would not be right. It deserves its place on YouTube.
Please take a look at Video History Today , the first web site to offer unique collections of re-usable original video clips designed for teachers and students.
The idea behind Video History Today is to give schools the raw material to make mini-documentaries and video essays on historical subjects.
Initial packages focus on World War I (Somme and Ieper areas), The Holocaust, the American Civil War and D-Day & Normandy 1944.

Menim Gate Ypres (leper) - 23rd April 2015
My Great Great grandfather died at Zonnebeke in the 2nd Battle of the Ypres Salient on the 23rd April 1915 - his body never found. So I travelled to the Menim Gate Memorial, 100 years to the date, where his name is engraved on a panel, for the last post ceremony. This day the Canadian Highland Regiment was in town, to commemorate the loss of many Canadians of 1st Canadian Division at St Julien, who plugged the line after the French were subjected to the first gas attack of the war on 22nd April. Last Post played at 10:00 mark.

The brooding soldier
Bij Sint - Juliaan vinden we het monument van The Brooding Soldier. Dit Canadian Soldiers Memorial werd opgericht ter herinnering aan de 2.000 doden van de 1ste Canadese Divisie die vielen tijdens de tegenaanvallen na de Duitse gasaanvallen in april en mei 1915. Het is een monument en geen begraafplaats. Het monument is een 10 meter hoog granieten beeld van een Canadese soldaat, rustend op zijn geweer. Deze houding, arms reversed, is de traditionele militaire groet aan de gesneuvelden. Het beeld staat op een vierkant plateau met aan elke zijde een boogvormige uitsprong. Het beeld van de soldaat wordt in de volksmond de Canadien genoemd. Het monument is in 1921 ontworpen door F.C. Clemenshaw en wordt beschouwd als een van de geslaagste uit de Salient.
Het monument is te vinden bij het kruispunt Brugseweg - Zonnebekestraat - 8920 Poelkapelle

At the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day, of the eleventh month the guns fell silent at the end of the First World War 95 years ago.
Each year Armistice Day remembers that date. Britain's Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh, joined with Belgian Prince Laurent in laying a wreath to the fallen at the Menin Gate in the Belgian town of Ypres.
It was reduced to rubble during hostilities and the names of almost 55,000 who lost their lives are engraved on the walls. The Duke officially received sandbags which where were filled with soil from World War One cemeteries in Flanders Fields. They will be taken to London to form a memorial garden. It was one of hundreds of ceremonies across Europe.
In the US too the human cost of conflict was remembered in the country's annual Veterans Day. President Barack Obama laid a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery after hosting a breakfast for many members of the military.
