Visit the major World War I battlefield sites including

• The city of Ypres was completely rebuilt to its medieval plans after being totally flattened in WW1
• In Flanders Fields Museum
  Most probably the best WW1 museum! It gets under your skin!
• The 'Last Post ' at the 'Menin Gate' Memorial
  Every evening since 1928, at precisely eight o' clock, the Last Post - the traditional salute to the fallen warrior - has been sounded under the imposing memorial arches of the Menin Gate in Ypres. The daily tribute - performed by a team of local buglers - serves to honour the memory of the soldiers of the British Empire, who fought and died in the 'Immortal Ypres Salient' during the First World War (1914-1918). It is the aim of the Last Post Association to maintain this ceremony in perpetuity.

  The world's largest WW1 cemetery
• The Trench of Death (Diksmuide)
  Belgian WW1 trenches
