1 - 4 day tours from £55 pp
The town of Ypres in Flanders is forever associated with Remembrance for the First World War. It was the scene of heavy fighting throughout the conflict, including the first major use of chemical weapons, and almost saw the British Army destroyed.
The British offensive of 1917 introduced a word that has become synonymous with the brutality of mechanised warfare – Passchendaele. The Ypres Salient had an evil reputation with British soldiers, but inspired poets such as Sassoon and Rosenberg and artists such as Grosz.
The modern town of Ypres is a centre for Remembrance and reflection, and every night holds the famous Last Post Ceremony at the Menin Gate, itself a symbol of Remembrance.
