Witness to War

Battlefield Sites

Cemeteries

Memorials

This site was first launched for the 90th Anniversary of the Battle of Passchendaele in 2007. It is now re-launched to provide information, news and details about the Battlefields of Flanders around the Belgium city of Ypres. During the Great War more than 250,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers died in defence of Ypres, and today, nearly a century later, it is one of the most visited parts of the Western Front. This site is by military historian Paul Reed, author of Walking The Salient and regular contributor to TV series like Timewatch and My Family At War.
