 Since the 1920's, British, Empire and German tourists of one type or another have been coming to Ypres in Belgium to pay their respects to the half a million men who lie beneath the soil of this unassuming farming area. It is a pilgrimage to those who never returned home.

Come and find out some of their stories and see where the fighting took place.
