[John Feltham]

I forgot to add this….

"Published on Nov 30, 2013
Some clips from the parade to move the Soil collected from Flanders War Cemeteries through Central London to the Flanders Fields Memorial Garden at Wellington Barracks on Saturday 30th November 2013.

The gathering of the Soil by Belgian and British schoolchildren in co-operation with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission took place at various cemeteries in Belgium during September 2013.

On 11th November 2013 a special Last Post Ceremony at the Menin Gate Memorial took place for the handing over of the 'Sacred Soil' from Flanders to the Guards Museum in London.

The Memorial Garden will open to the public on 9th November 2014."
