Is it mentioned that the elves of Lorien went with the Last Alliance? If not, I don't think Haldir was there.

Lorien did not exist (as we know it from the WoTR) during that time, Galadriel and Celeborn had not yet taken up abode there (if i am correct!) and the elvish population of lorien were silvan elves, who may or may not have attended the battle; they probably did... but really, Haldir was another interesting minor character who had only a small part in the history of Middle Earth.

It's more likely that the small ammount of elves in lorien ran up their trees and hid at the first sight of trouble, they'd be even more rustic than Thranduil's people.

Where did you people get your information? I haven't read half of that, and I thought I'd read the books pretty thoroughly.
