Flanders Field: Remembering Their Sacrifice
This nine minute film serves as an orientation to the Great War, the cemetery, and ABMC. Through historic and modern-day imagery, and first-person recollections from letters, a clearer perspective of the true cost of war is presented. The film touches on the fighting in the region by the 27th, 30th, 37th, and 91st Divisions during the war in the Ypres-Lys Offensive. It discusses how family members had to select repatriation to the United States for burial, or permanent interment in an American, overseas cemetery. It covers the Gold Start Mother Pilgrimages that gave women the opportunity to visit their son or husband’s burial location overseas. The film also shows the appreciation and friendship of the Belgians through an annual singing tradition during the Memorial Day ceremony, and a grave site adoption program.

Sanctuary Wood, Hill 62,Belgium
Leaving the historic Belgian town of Ypres via the Menin Gate, you can travel the once heavily- contested Menin Road for just a few kilometres and come across a number of familiar names and places. Sanctuary Wood is on the site of Hill 62 (as was) and is one of the long-established stops for those interested in First War sites. It claims to be an undisturbed section of the trenches and certainly, the outline of craters both big and small are easily made out amidst the dug-outs. There is also a small museum which seems largely unchanged from the first time I visited thirty years ago. Vintage stereoscopes show graphic pictures from the Western Front and each room is lined by 'finds' presumably turned up in nearby fields.I keep expecting to find this place updated but as an example of the way in which we used to remember as well as for its own value, it's a must visit for any student of the Great War.
