Ypres World War I Memorials

Ypres served as a strategic center during World War I, surrounded by the Ypres Salient. This collection features the Menin Gate, where the names of 54,896 missing soldiers are inscribed, and the In Flanders Fields Museum housed in the reconstructed Cloth Hall. The list includes significant Commonwealth War Graves Commission sites like Essex Farm Cemetery, where John McCrae wrote 'In Flanders Fields,' and the preserved German trench system at Bayernwald. These sites document the front-line history, medical dressing stations, and commemorative architecture of the Great War.
