Discover World War I in Ypres centre

Ypres: it's name will forever be associated with the sacrifice of Great-Britain and her Empire during The First World War. The In Flanders Fields Museum, the Menin Gate, the Last Post, St. George's Memorial Church: the average Englishman still knows more about Ypres than the average Belgian.

Some five million British and Commonwealth soldiers passed trough Ypres on their way to the Salient. Reduced to rubble by constant bombardment, the town came to symbolise the meaningless slaughter of the Great War.

The numbers of the mains sites refer to their location on this city map.
