The Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing at Ypres is the representative focal point for remembering those who died in Flanders during World War One.
The names of 54,896 soldiers of Britain and the Commonwealth who have no known grave are engraved on Portland stone panels in an arched memorial that is 36.5 metres long and 20 metres wide.
Sourced from the Flanders 1917 website.

Dank u wel, Yvonne.
Your forum looks interesting although I need my translator, as I'm still only reading about 50% Dutch.
I'll be on Flanders Field in October taking photographs. Will you?
We will be attending the ANZAC weekend in Zonnebeke.
Last weekend we visited the Scottish Weekend.
You may find our pictures on:

It is nice to read your weblog.

Yvonne
I'll see you at Zonnebeke then :)
I'll be there with my camera.
