Langemarck military cemetery
The German war cemetery of Langermarck is near the village of Langermarck, part of the municipality of Langermarck-Poelkapelle, in the Belgian province of West Flanders. More than 44,000 soldiers are buried here. The village was the scene of the first gas attacks by the German army, marking the beginning of the Second Battle of Ypres in April 1915.
During the First Battle of Ypres (1914) in World War I, inexperienced German infantry suffered severe casualties when they made a futile frontal attack on allied positions near Langermarck and were checked by experienced French infantry and British riflemen.
The cemetery, which evolved from a small group of graves from 1915, has seen numerous changes and extensions. It was dedicated in 1932. Today, visitors find a mass grave near the entrance. This comrades' grave contains 24,917 servicemen. Between the oak trees, next to this mass grave, are another 10,143 soldiers (including 2 British soldiers killed in 1918). The 3,000 school students who were killed during the First Battle of Ypres are buried in a third part of the cemetery.
Adolf Hitler spent two days visiting the Ypres Salient battlefields. His tour included the town of Ypres and Langermarck military cemetery.

Belgische begraafplaats Houthulst
Houthulst is de bekendste Belgische begraafplaats. Het ligt op de plaats waar de veldslag van 28 september 1918 plaats had. Slechts een aantal weken van de Wapenstilstand van 11 november verwijderd, begon in Houthulst het bevrijdingsoffensief op 28 september 1918. Het terrein was door de zware regens herschapen tot een modderpoel. De leiding van het offensief was in handen van Koning Albert I voor de legergroep Vlaanderen, generaal Degoutte voor het 6e Franse leger, generaal Plummer voor het 2e Engelse leger. Maarschalk Foch had de algemene leiding.

Fresh Meat - The Search For New Recruits I THE GREAT WAR - Week 14
After some heavy casualties during the first months of war, the armies had to look for new recruits. While Great Britain undertook soldiers in military service to fill up their ranks, Germany was relying on reservists and inexperienced recruits. This fatal German mix was sent against smaller, but much more experienced British and French troops. The resulting carnage had no military effect, but was later on idolized by the German propaganda and is today known as the Kindermord (child murder) or Massacre of the Innocent.
