*Memorial to the Missing* This cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) memorial for the missing soldiers of World War I who fought in the immediate area of the Ypres Salient on the Western Front. The grounds were assigned to the United Kingdom in perpetuity by King Albert I of Belgium in recognition of the sacrifices made by the British Empire in the defence and liberation of Belgium during the war. You see the magnificent circular temple, built by Chalton Bradshaw, guarded by two stone lions. The names of 11,447 unknown British soldiers and officers are engraved here. Since 7 June 1999, the Comité du Memorial de Ploegsteert has arranged for the Last Post to be played at the memorial on the first Friday of each month.

The Menin Gate is one of the symbols of the sacrifice of young men in the First World War. The British Government had wanted to leave the city of Ypres derelict and desolate but it was re-built and the great Gate became the centre of commemoration. 'Designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield, this monument to the allied effort was begun in June 1921 using a grant of £150,000 from the British Cabinet. At the summit of the monument is a British lion designed by Sir William Reid Dick, looking outward" along the Menin Road. It was unveiled in the presence of the King of the Belgians and several thousand of the relatives whose names - 54,900 of the 'missing' - were inscribed around the memorial, on 24 July 1927. The unveiling of the Menin Gate was broadcast by the BBC. Of the dead General Plumer said: "They are not missing - they are here."  Siegfried Sassoon however called the Menin Gate "a sepulchre of crime". Today, at 8pm each evening, the local police stop traffic from passing underneath the gate, and the Last Post is played by buglers from the Ypres fire station, often attended by large crowds.  The Last Post has been played each night in this way since the 1920s save only for the duration of the German occupation during World War II. However the ceremony was performed on the same night the German forces were expelled from Ypres in 1944. Wikipedia

He served in World War I in the British Army in 1915 in Flanders, where he transported troops in red double-decker London buses. A total of 900 of thede vehicles were used to move troops behind the lines. They were not changed at first amd even kept their red-and-white livery. Soon, however, they were painted khaki, and, the glass windows on the lower deck were prone to breakage, mostly from contact with the men's rifles and packs, they were replaced by planks nailed to the sides of the vehicle. The B-Type could carry 24 fully equipped infantrymen and their kit. Some were converted into mobile pigeon lofts to house the pigeons used for communication along the front. They served until the end of the war when they were used to bring troops home. In 1935, Bestall was selected to take over the Daily Express’s Rupert Bear stories from Mary Tourtel.  Much of the landscape in Rupert is inspired by the Snowdonia landscape of North Wales, notably around Beddgelert.  In 1985, he was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE). Bestall died on 15 January 1986, aged 93, at Wern Manor Nursing Home in Porthmadog, Wales In May 2006, Alfred Bestall was commemorated with an English Heritage Blue plaque at 58 Cranes Park, Surbiton, London, where he lived for 30 years.

The statue « Mademoiselle from Armentières » has been erected in november 2008 as tribute to the song, written by an english soldier in 1915 (on a french army tune out of the 1820ties) and sung in 1952 by the french actress and singer Line Renaud, who was born closeby in Pont-de-Nieppe. The work shows a 'lady' carried by four soldiers of the first World War : a scotsman, an indian, an australian and an englishman. Revived by Line Renaud, the song based on an anecdote by an English officer who made an inappropriate gesture towards a young lady from Armentières, who replied with a slap to his face. Not far from here, you can find the 'military quarter' in the middle of the civilian cemetery. -------------- Listen to the original song : 'Mademoiselle from Armentières' (1915) - by Jack Charman - 2'54" *Attention : this file is 680Kb heavy - roaming costs may apply* Your browser does not support the video tag

The history of the Belfry of Bergues is long and eventful. The construction of the first Belfry dates from 1112. Rebuilt several times, confronted with the destruction of the war, it is destroyed by the German troops during their retirement by blasting in 1944. Between 1958 and July 1961, it is rebuilt with the same silhouette, but with a simplified decor. Protected as a Historic Monument in 2004, it is listed as World Heritage by UNESCO in 2005 with 22 other belfries. The Belfry is an emblematic monument of the city of Bergues. It hosts a Tourist Information Office, an exhibition hall and a music room. The inhabitants are very attached to their belfry whose jingles give rhythm to their day. In 2008, honored by the film Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis, it enjoys international renown. At 47 meters high, 193 steps allow you to access its carillon of 50 bells and to contemplate a breathtaking panorama. The carillon is 6 tons 200 bronze. The largest bell weighs 1500 kg, the largest 14 kg. The first carillon dating from 1544 had only 10 bells.

Located in the center of the primitive city, the church will be destroyed by the War of the Beggars. It will be rebuilt from 1562 in the form of a large hallekerque (market hall). The building suffered terribly during the last world war (fire in 1940 and blasting of the tower in 1944). Only one part was restored (south transept, central choir and south choir) and completed by a new construction in 1959.

Built in 1600, this is really quite a unique edifice in the region. Of Flemish Renaissance style it was a former guardhouse and now houses the Tourist Office. Temporary exhibitions are regularly held on the first floor.

This vast Gothic church was founded by Baudouin le Pieux in 1059. It was badly damaged by fires but was rebuilt during the XV century. A flamboyant edifice of brick and stone it is doted with a superb oak organ chest which dates from 1633 and originates
