In Flanders Fields: Canadian Ypres Salient from Arras / Lens

Explore the Ypres Salient on a guided tour of Canadian battlefields. Visit Essex Farm, see the Brooding Soldier Memorial, and attend the Last Post Ceremony at the Menin Gate.
Begin your tour at Sanctuary Wood, & at Canada's Hill 62 Memorial, where you will walk through preserved trenches and gain a deeper understanding of the conditions experienced by soldiers on the Western Front.

Then, experience Essex Farm Cemetery, where Canadian physician John McCrae wrote "In Flanders Fields." Continue to the German cemetery at Langemarck before visiting St. Julien. Stand beneath the Brooding Soldier, the powerful memorial dedicated to the Canadians who held their ground during the gas attacks of April 1915.

Explore the landscapes where Canadian soldiers fought during the Second and Third Battles of Ypres, including the first large-scale poison gas attack at St. Julien and the devastating Battle of Passchendaele.

At the village of Passchendaele and the vast Tyne Cot Cemetery, discover the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in the world.

Throughout the tour, your Canadian guide will share the stories of the men who served here, placing their experiences within the wider history of the Ypres Salient.

The day concludes in the magnificent Ypres square with free time for supper, culminating beneath the Menin Gate in Ypres for the Last Post Ceremony, a nightly act of remembrance honoring the soldiers of the British Empire and Commonwealth who died in the Salient and have no known grave.
