‘In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.’

Written by Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae, In Flanders Fields is one of the most famous pieces of wartime writing and helped to establish the poppy as an emblem of remembrance. On this break we journey to the Belgian and French battlefields immortalised in McCrae’s poem, which saw some of the most intense fighting of the First World War and thousands upon thousands of casualties. Across Flanders Fields, cemeteries and memorials proudly honour those who fought for our freedom, laid to rest in eternal comradeship across the Ypres Salient, Arras and the Somme areas. We discover these symbols of commemoration over three informative days with a battlefield guide, learning stories of enduring bravery and sacrifice at key sites such as Tyne Cot Cemetery, Menin Gate Memorial (where The Last Post is played every evening), Vimy Ridge Memorial, Lochnager Crater, the preserved trenches at Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial Park and much more.

The highlights of Belgium await on this getaway, from the beautiful cities of Bruges and Ghent to the seaside resort of Ostend. We also pay our respects in Ypres, the scene of a series of battles during the First World War where casualties are believed to have surpassed one million. During our visit we witness the city’s daily act of remembrance, The Last Post, played in honour of those who fell in the Ypres Salient from 1914-1918. At exactly 8pm every evening, the police stop traffic around the Menin Gate Memorial to let the buglers complete the world-famous fanfare; an incredibly moving experience that should be observed first-hand.
