The Funeral of Pte. A.J. Mather.







On the 22nd of July 2010 Pte. Mather was laid to rest with full military honours in the presence of members of his family. Two years after his remains were recovered from the battlefield at St Yvon by members of the Plugstreet Archeological Project.

The burial service and wreathlaying at the Menin Gate is now available on DVD.

This broadcast quality video runs for 60mins and is region free.

The footage was taken by the Team's own film crew, who had priority positions at both the funeral service at Prowse Point and at the Menin Gate on the previous evening when members of Alan Mather's family and representatives from the Australian Military laid wreaths. An emotional time as it was the final ceremony at which Pte. Mather could be counted amongst the missing, as the following day he was laid to rest in a marked grave.
