Ypres in Flanders Fields (Tour C)
ZEEBRUGGE, BELGIUM
Ypres was one of the great Flemish cloth towns of the Middle Ages. Occupied by the German army for one night at the beginning of the Great War, it fell under control of the Allied Forces on 14th October 1914. Some five million British and Commonwealth soldiers passed through Ypres on their way to the front line. Reduced to rubble by constant bombardment, the town has come to symbolise the meaningless slaughter during the Great War. Now restored to its former grandeur, Ypres contains numerous poignant sites and monuments linked to the war.
