Flanders Fields
Description
The whole area around Ieper (or Ypres as it was more commonly known at the time of WWI) was one of the bloodiest battlefields where the front line moved the least and the bodies mounted fastest. From just one offensive - the 3rd battle of Ypres, the death toll approached a quarter of a million men on each side. The whole countryside is littered with war graves as a memorial to the men who died, many of whom were never identified.
Charge
There are no charges to enter the Commonwealth War Graves sites, though museums in the area do charge entry fees.
Getting There
With the exception of Poperinge which is on the train line most other locations require the use of buses. Some sites are not easily accessible by public transport in which case joining a battlefields tour may be the only way to get to all the sites.
