<P> Following the Menin Gate Memorial opening in 1927 , the citizens of Ypres wanted to express their gratitude towards those who had given their lives for Belgium 's freedom . Hence every evening at 20 : 00 , buglers from the local fire brigade close the road which passes under the memorial and sound the `` Last Post '' . Except for the occupation by the Germans in World War II when the daily ceremony was conducted at Brookwood Military Cemetery , in Surrey , England , this ceremony has been carried on uninterrupted since 2 July 1928 . On the evening that Polish forces liberated Ypres in the Second World War , the ceremony was resumed at the Menin Gate despite the fact that heavy fighting was still taking place in other parts of the town . </P>
