Today with around 35 people attending, we performed the long ceremony.

We remembered Bombardier J Feeney. Bombardier Feeney was in the 161st Brigade, Royal Field Artillery, the ‘Scarborough Pals’. He was the husband of Lilian Feeney, of 170, Forbes Street, Darlinghurst, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. However he wasn’t an Australian and had enlisted in the British military.

He died 100 years ago today on 2nd December 1918, after the war and it is unknown whether that was due to injuries sustained in the war or from the Spanish influenza that swept the globe.

He was 26 years old and is buried in plot XII. C. 21A in Brookwood Military Cemetery.

Our padre was Bert Steed, the Last Post was sounded by Mrs Ruth Moore, the BLP Standard was paraded by Mrs Sue Stallard and the poem and individual remembrance was read out by Paul McCue.

Afterwards we went round to the Trench Experience for refreshments.

Tonight during the 31,241st nightly ceremony held under the Menin Gate, the Chairman said the Exhortation and three Members laid a wreath on behalf of the Brookwood Last Post Association.

Members of the Brookwood Last Post were at the Menin Gate, Ypres today for the eleven o’clock ceremony. The BLP Standard was paraded by John Pain as part of the Woking District Scout contingent that have been coming to BLP ceremonies over the past few months in preparation.

The ceremony was as humbling as expected and we felt honoured to be there for the historic ceremony marking 100 years since the end of World War One.
