For the four long years of the Great War the "Flanders Fields" around the old town of Ypres witnessed the loss of a generation. In defending Ypres from the attacking German war machine a quarter of a million men of the British Empire made the ultimate sacrifice and today lie in "some corner of a foreign field" in one of the 160 battlefield cemeteries which surround Ypres.
