I am particularly looking forward to visiting Ypres. I was introduced to World War One when Mum was preparing lessons for school and as I grew up it became a shared interest. I believe that there is o much we can learn from World War One.
One of my particular areas of interest for World War One was the Third Battle of Ypres also known as the Battle of Passchendaele (31 July to 10 November 1917). And visiting Ypres first in my Beligum/France journey makes sense both geographically but also in regards to importance.
Mat MacLacklan is a historian and a Battlefield Tour Guide and I hope to get some ideas and tips for where I should visit,
Places that I want to visit that are mentioned here include
- Ypres Cloth Hall
- St Martins Cathedral
- Menin Gate
- British Grenadier Bookshop – They also do Tours
- The Ypres Ramparts & Lile Gate
- Shrapnel Corner
