Langemark-Poelkapelle

Travel Guide

We drove the Ypres Salient in the Flanders region of Belgium to visit the memorial sites from World War I. Of particular interest to us were the Canadian memorials along the way. The Brooding Soldier was the most poignant memorial we came across. The imposing granite statue faces the same direction where the first German gas attack took place. 2,000 Canadian soldiers died in this area. It is as if the soldier stands guard over the fallen men of combat.

Room needed some maintenance, ie. Side light not working, cracked mug, dusty radiators, shower rail and towel rail required securing. All worked but a little care goes a long way. Coffee, milk and black tea required in room not just mint tea and sugar.

We had a great stay, apart from as many have reported, one lift is not in use, leaving a single lift for many floors, which creates delays at busy times.

Ypres

The bunkers at Essex Farm Cemetery are the location where John McCrae wrote the famous poem, "In Flanders Fields". The bunkers were used as makeshift hospitals where Lieutenant Colonel McCrae tended to the wounded and dying soldiers of World War I. The cemetery adjacent to the bunkers is the resting place for over 1,000 soldiers of the Great War. The youngest soldier, 5750 Rifleman V.J. Strudwick, aged 15, lies to rest in the cemetery.
