Remembrance & History, Eurometropolis - Lille, Kortrijk, Tournai - Unravel Travel TV
For many centuries, the frontier zone covered by the Eurometropolis area has been a battlefield of Europe due to its geographical location at the crossroads of nations' destiny. The area has preserved numerous scars as well as an exceptional historical and commemorative heritage. The frontline of the First World War crossed Flanders and the Picardie region. The In Flanders Fields museum in Ypres retraces the history of daily life in the trenches. On the other side of the square, you can read on the walls of the Menenpoort, a memorial gate resembling a Roman triumph, the names of 54.896 soldiers of the British Empire who disappeared during this war. Since 1928, the Last Post can be heard every night at 8 o'clock p.m., echoing under the impressive vaults. In the Region of the Lys, the Flanders Field American cemetery in Waregem and the German military cemetery of Menen are both very important places of remembrance. The fortresses of Bondues and of Seclin, the museum of the resistance in Villeneuve-d'Ascq and the birth house of Charles de Gaulle in Lille also testify of the people's resistance during the Second World War.

It is accessed via a footpath which passes through the restored network of trenches.

The German military cemetery at Menen is the largest German war cemetery in Western Europe, commemorating no fewer than 47 900 fallen soldiers. During WWI Menen was occupied by German troops, where several German hospitals and cemeteries were constructed. This cemetery was located close to a wood, hence the name 'Meenen Wald'.

Belgian Military Cemetery Vleteren
French soldiers started this cemetery in the autumn of 1914. Only by June 1916, the Belgians took it over. After the war, the site was enlarged and the French soldiers were relocated.

A total of 1 207 soldiers found their last resting-place in the Belgian military cemetery in the village of Westvleteren. Open daily from sunrise to sunset.

Flanders Fields
I got to explore the trenches near the river Yser(IJzer) and watch a memorial ceremony at the Menin Gate(Menenpoort) in Ypres(Ieper)! I got to go two times, first with my family, and second with my AFS chapter. We also made statues of soldiers to help with a current project.
Ypres Belgium In Flanders Fields
This tour in Ypres, Belgium ended at the WWI medical dressing station where Canadian, Dr. John McCrae, tended to wounded soldiers during the Great War. It was at this spot that McCrae wrote the famous poem, In Flanders Fields. Philippe Uyttenhove of Quasimodo Tours in Bruges was our guide and he is fantastic - knowledgeable (a local) and interesting. Book this tour when you go to Bruges!!
