Last week I was away in Belgium visiting the WW1 Battlefield around the town of Ypres
Heres just a quick selection of pictures I took. I'll try and give a description as best I can.
Ypres Town centre by Night, the building very well lit up is the Cloth Hall it was nearlt destroyed in the war and rebuilt exactly the same as it was pre-war
There was a fair in town so excuse the burger bar next to it.
Our camp site, with the huts we stayed in, nicknamed Cuckoo clocks because of thier size and shape, they were very cheap to rent so we didnt mind.
Paid my respects at Langemark German Cemetery
Inscription reads 'I have called you by your name, you are mine'
Name upon names, double sided enscriptions.
General view, of the mass graves, some have upto 50 soliders in.
Laying a wreath at the grave of my great uncle.
Preserved trenches at Hill 62 sanctuary wood museum.
Menin Gate memorial for the missing British soliders,
Inside
Zandvoorde Bunker
Bunker again
I'll post some more pics later
