A touching tour of the history and the tragedy of Flanders Field

5.00Marikea gave us a great tour that captured both the history and the tragedy of Flanders Field. She included stops at both the modern museum at Ypers and the rustic museum at hill 62, then a walk through the craters at hiill 60. Brief stops at several cemeteries dedicated to boys fim the many national regiments gave a feel for the world's commitment to wiping out facisim in the early 20th century. As a volunteer at the US National WWI Museum and Memorial in Kansas City I sincerely appreciate her giving us time to take photos I can share. A day both filled with history and the grief of the families world-wide who lost boys in a valiant battle against evil.
Good but pricy

The tour guide, Henry,...
