Reflecting on the past in Flanders Fields
Never again war! This universal message of peace is more relevant today than ever. More than 100 years ago, the Westhoek was the devastating battleground of the First World War. It’s good to take a moment to reflect on that. Listen with your children or grandchildren to the bugles of the Last Post in Ypres and unravel the secrets of the craters and bunkers in the landscape. The many visitor centres in Flanders Fields invite you to commemorate the history of the Great War together.
