An ancient city in the Flemish province of West Flanders, Ieper (as it’s known in the Flemish tongue) has enjoyed financial and cultural status since the 12th century. Today, visitors can check out remnants of its impressive past, including ramparts that date back to 1385 and an historic moat, which now is a haven for wildlife. Ieper found itself in the middle of World War I and suffered tremendous damage to all of its buildings, but has been both reconstructed in its medieval style and built up with modern structures.

We were fortunate to visit with a BBC war journalist and he was able to share the story of this site in incredible detail... be sure to research prior to, or during, your visit.

I visted this museum as one of the locations visited on a day coach trip to Ypres for the Armistice Day ceremony. They have a lot of items recovered from the battlefields and the preserved trenches show us today what hell the troops must have suffered, with mud, cold, continuous enemy fire and surounded by death. If you get the chance visit the museum and reflect on the sacrifice these men made.
