Recordist's notes
On the day I attended it, May 11th 2008, there was a special ceremony. The American Field Service Flanders was celebrating their 60th Anniversary. There were special tributes by Princess Astrid of Belgium, Prime Minister Yves Leterme and Mayor Luc Dehaene and many more. My Zoom H2 recorder was in my chest pocket and I was standing in the middle of the audience. archief.wo1.be/jwe/2008/mei/ieper1005/body1.htm
