var str = 'The Menin Gate in the rebuilt town of Ypres, Belgium is built to honor all those Imperial British troops who served and died while fighting in the fighting in the Ypres Salient. The gate was built at the site of an old gateway from Ypres to Menin. The immense gate was designed and built by Sir Reginal Blomfield and is composed of limestone. The gate is 80 feet tall, 135 feet long and 104 feet wide with the two lane road running through it. There are three large ocular portholes on the top of the gate which let in beautiful natural light. At the top of the gate on the Ypres side at the top of the arch is a sarcophagus and the inscription by Rudyard Kipling honoring those who served and especially those more than 55,000 who have no known grave – who disappeared in the carnage. On the Menin side is a British lion. All around the walls of the gate, up the stairs and around the ramparts (which can be reached by stairs) on each side are carved the names of these 55,000 missing; names for those from the United Kingdom are included up to 1915 with the remaining United Kingdom names on the memorial at Tyne Cot. All Australian, Canadian, Indian and South Africans for the entire length of the war are included here, but no New Zealand names are included as they have separate memorials throughout the area of the Ypres campaign. When the Gate was dedicated in a magnificent ceremony in 1927, the Last Post was sounded and continues to be sounded by local volunteers each night at 6:00p.m.';
