World War I Cemeteries - Ypers, Belgium

In the battlefields around the Ypres Salient approximately 90,000 British and Commonwealth dead could not be identified when their remains were buried. There are also believed to be a similar number of German and uncounted French soldiers whose unidentified remains were recovered or still consecrate the Flanders’s mud. Many memorials to these soldiers dot countryside around the Belgian town of Ieper (Ypres or "Wipers"). They remember the sacrifices at the Ypres Salient battlefields during the First World War from 1914-1918.
