#ypres

Soldiers, veterans, politicians and onloookers gathered in Ypres in western Belgium on Tuesday to commemorate the 107th anniversary of the end of World War I in 1918. They laid wreaths, often commemorative poppies, at the newly renovated Menin Gate memorial to the fallen in Ypres, a Belgian town at the heart of the fighting more or less throughout the four-year war which became synonymous with the conflict on the Western Front.
