West-Flanders has 1,388 war remnants. This means that you can discover many other relics along the track, such as Locre No. 10 Cemetery, La Clytte Military Cemetery, Wulverghem-Lindenhoek Road Military Cemetery … the latter two provide a final resting place for more than 1,000 soldiers each. The ‘km’ marker indicates the distance to each hotspot from the starting position. - If the hotspot is located on the track (marked with ), then the kilometre marker indicates the track distance. - If the hotspot described is not located along the track, then the distance indicated will denote the distance from the starting point to the nearest kilometer marker on the track. These hotspots are located no further than 6.5 km from the track as the crow flies (men’s and ladies’ track combined). - For example, the Pool of Peace is not labelled with and is therefore a hotspot not on the track but nearby. This means that the hotspot is situated within a range of 6.5 km from the track. Specifically: the Pool of Peace is 1.75 km from the trail, on the road from Kemmel to Messines, at 164 km into the race. The ‘Commonwealth War Graves Commission’ (CWGC) is responsible for commemorating almost 1 700 000 British Com- monwealth soldiers who lost their lives in one of the two World Wars. The graves and memorials to these men and women, who came from every corner of the British Commonwealth, are located in about 153 countries around the world. There are more than 4000 CWGC cemeteries and memorials in Western Europe, commemorating more than 800 000 casualties of the First and Second World Wars.

This was due to the proximity 51.0461 of the German troops, both on the side of the 2.8424 Yser and opposite the ‘head’ of the Dodengang in the Yser dyke. YSER TOWER To honour the fallen Flemish soldiers the Yser KM 67 Tower was solemnly inaugurated in 1930. During WWII the Yser Tower became a sym- DIKSMUIDE bol for the collaboration of part of the Flemish Movement. An attack in 1946 razed the tower to the ground.

  • The Night Operation on the Passchendaele Ridge, 2Nd December 1917
    Centre for First World War Studies A Moonlight Massacre: The Night Operation on the Passchendaele Ridge, 2nd December 1917 by Michael Stephen LoCicero Thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts & Law June 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

Abstract The Third Battle of Ypres was officially terminated by Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig with the opening of the Battle of Cambrai on 20 November 1917. Nevertheless, a comparatively unknown set-piece attack – the only large-scale night operation carried out on the Flanders front during the campaign – was launched twelve days later on 2 December. This thesis, a necessary corrective to published campaign narratives of what has become popularly known as „Passchendaele‟, examines the course of events from the mid-November decision to sanction further offensive activity in the vicinity of Passchendaele village to the barren operational outcome that forced British GHQ to halt the attack within ten hours of Zero. A litany of unfortunate decisions and circumstances contributed to the profitless result.

  • Simcoe School War Memorial Stone
    Simcoe School War Memorial Stone Overview The City of London Culture Office has been informed of a memorial stone that commemorates London soldiers that died during the First World War. Due to the nature of the memorial’s history, its location, ownership, and responsibility for its care are of concern to those that have brought this matter forward. Memorials are covered under the City of London’s definition of public art.1 This report will provide an overview of the Simcoe School War Memorial’s history, design, and significance, to assist in the resolution of this matter. History In 1887, Governor Simcoe School (later re-named Simcoe Street School) was built on the site of the last remaining log-house in London.2 See Figure 1 for a photograph of the original school building. This school was attended by a few notable Londoners, including Guy Lombardo, a famous Canadian violinist and the bandleader of The Royal Canadians. During the First World War, a number of past students from the Simcoe Street School volunteered for overseas duty for the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Figure 1. Photograph of Simcoe Street School, also known as Governor Simcoe School. Source: “Simcoe Street School, London, Ontario,” Ivey Family London Room, London Public Library, London, Ontario, http://images.ourontario.ca/london/74863/data. After the war, many public schools in London felt the need to commemorate their former students that had died while serving overseas. Throughout the 1920s, schools across London commissioned the creation of memorial plaques and honour rolls. For example, honour rolls Simcoe School War Memorial Stone – Research Report 2 were commissioned for Wortley Road School, the former Empress Public School and Talbot Street School, Central Secondary School, Tecumseh Public School, South Secondary School, and Lorne Avenue Public School.

  • On the Trail of the Newfoundland Caribou
    On the Trail of the Newfoundland Caribou Patriotic Tour 2016 France & Belgium In Conjunction with the Churches of Newfoundland and Labrador June 26 - July 5, 2016 • 10 Days • 16 Meals Escorted by Rt. Rev. Dr. Geoff Peddle Anglican Bishop of the Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador Caribou Monument at Beaumont Hamel A NEWFOUNDLAND PILGRIMAGE ON THE TRAIL OF THE CARIBOU The years 2014-2018 mark the 100th anniversaries of the First World War. We must never forget the tremendous contributions and horrendous sacrifices that so many Newfoundlanders and Labradorians made to that cause. Fighting in the uniforms of both the Navy and the Army, in the Merchant Marine and the Forestry Corps, our brave forebears never hesitated to stand in harm’s way to protect our homes, our families and our values. While many of them paid the supreme sacrifice, many more came home wounded in body and/or mind. We must also never forget the suffering at home of a generation for whom the effects of that war would be felt for the rest of their lives. The pastoral guidance was provided by many Newfoundland Padres who served the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, including Padre Tom Nangle who went on to become Newfoundland’s representative on the Imperial War Graves Commission. His vision brought the “Trail of the Caribou” to reality, and is the touchstone for many of those who wish to stand “where once they stood.” Knowing that many of those brave soldiers were members of our Newfoundland Churches, we have vowed to mark this important anniversary by a spiritual pilgrimage, to the battlefields of Europe in the summer of 2016.

  • The Gate of Eternal Memories: Architecture Art and Remembrance
    CONTESTED TERRAINS SAHANZ PERTH 2006 JOHN STEPHENS THE GATE OF ETERNAL MEMORIES: ARCHITECTURE ART AND REMEMBRANCE. John Richard Stephens Faculty of Built Environment Art and Design, Curtin University of Technology, Perth Western Australia, Australia. ABSTRACT The Menin Gate is a large memorial in Belgium to British Empire troops killed and missing during the battles of the Ypres Salient during the First World War. Designed by the architect Reginald Blomfield in 1922 it commemorates the 56,000 soldiers whose bodies were never found including 6,160 Australians. Blomfield’s sobering memorial has symbolic architectural meaning, and signifi- cance and commemorative meaning to relatives of those whose names appeared on the sur- faces of the structure. In 1927 the Australian artist and soldier William Longstaff painted his alle- gorical painting “Menin gate at Midnight showing the Gate as an ethereal structure in a brood- ing landscape populated with countless ghostly soldiers. The painting was an instant success and was reverentially exhibited at all Australian capital cities. From the contested terrain of war re- membrance this paper will argue that both the Gate and its representation in “Menin Gate at Midnight” are linked through the commemorative associations that each employ and have in common. “Here was the world’s worst wound.

  • The Evolution of British Tactical and Operational Tank Doctrine and Training in the First World War
    The evolution of British tactical and operational tank doctrine and training in the First World War PHILIP RICHARD VENTHAM TD BA (Hons.) MA. Thesis submitted for the award of the degree of Master of Philosophy by the University of Wolverhampton October 2016 ©Copyright P R Ventham 1 ABSTRACT Tanks were first used in action in September 1916. There had been no previous combat experience on which to base tactical and operational doctrine for the employment of this novel weapon of war. Training of crews and commanders was hampered by lack of vehicles and weapons. Time was short in which to train novice crews. Training facilities were limited. Despite mechanical limitations of the early machines and their vulnerability to adverse ground conditions, the tanks achieved moderate success in their initial actions. Advocates of the tanks, such as Fuller and Elles, worked hard to convince the sceptical of the value of the tank. Two years later, tanks had gained the support of most senior commanders. Doctrine, based on practical combat experience, had evolved both within the Tank Corps and at GHQ and higher command. Despite dramatic improvements in the design, functionality and reliability of the later marks of heavy and medium tanks, they still remained slow and vulnerable to ground conditions and enemy counter-measures. Competing demands for materiel meant there were never enough tanks to replace casualties and meet the demands of formation commanders. This thesis will argue that the somewhat patchy performance of the armoured vehicles in the final months of the war was less a product of poor doctrinal guidance and inadequate training than of an insufficiency of tanks and the difficulties of providing enough tanks in the right locations at the right time to meet the requirements of the manoeuvre battles of the ‘Hundred Days’.

  • In West-Vlaanderen Op Stap Met Marijn Follebout
    Editie: SEPTEMBER FIETSEN EN WANDELEN IN WEST-VLAANDEREN OP STAP MET MARIJN FOLLEBOUT WOI-FIETSROUTE DUITS HINTERLAND WESTHOEK DE VELDFIETSROUTE: DWARS DOOR DE GROENTETUIN VAN EUROPA BRUGSE OMMELAND ZEE VAN SMAAKROUTE ROND BLANKENBERGE DE KUST OP KOERS ROND WIELERSTAD ROESELARE LEIESTREEK 1 Fietsen in Blankenberge 2 Vier verschillende werelden Het startpunt van drie fietsroutes ligt binnen een straal van 15 kilometer van elkaar. Toch doet elke route telkens een andere wereld aan. West-Vlaanderen is niet zomaar verdeeld in toeristische regio’s zoals het Brugse Ommeland, De Kust, de Leiestreek en de Westhoek. Het zijn streken met een duidelijke eigen identiteit. Het is pas als je er zelf in ondergedompeld wordt dat je die unieke WESTHOEK stempel van elke regio duidelijk herkent. 01 WOI-fietsroute Duits Aan De Kust gaan we deze maand de culinaire toer op met een Zee van hinterland met Smaak-route in Blankenberge. De Noordzee brengt heel wat lekkers voort en verrassend panoramische dat zetten we met deze route extra in de verf. We brengen een bezoek aan ver- schillende toonaangevende visrestaurants, maar vergeten ook de heerlijke wa- vergezichten fels en ijsjes niet die de Kust zo herkenbaar maken. In deelgemeente Uitkerke stappen we binnen in het Zuivelmuseum waar Marcel Dejonghe al 61 jaar lang 02 BRUGSE OMMELAND zijn verzameling weet uit te breiden. De Veldfietsroute: In Roeselare (her)opent op zondag 9 september KOERS. Het museum van de Dwars door de Wielersport. Het centrum wordt meer dan een museum. Het moet de ‘hub’ groentetuin van Europa worden van het fietstoerisme in Midden-West-Vlaanderen. We zochten en vonden heel wat wielererfgoed in de regio en zetten dat met deze knooppun- 03 DE KUST tenroute extra in de kijker.
