"Flanders Fields
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from
Flanders fields
)
Flanders Fields
is a common English name of the
World War I
battlefields
[1]
in an area straddling the Belgian provinces of
West Flanders
and
East Flanders
as well as the French department of
Nord-Pas-de-Calais
, part of which makes up the area known as
French Flanders
. The name Flanders Fields is particularly associated with battles that took place in the
Ypres Salient
, including the
Second Battle of Ypres
and the
Battle of Passchendaele
. For most of the war, the
front line
ran continuously from south of
Zeebrugge
on the Belgian coast, across Flanders Fields into the centre of Northern France before moving eastwards — and it was known as the
Western Front
.
The phrase originates from a poem titled
In Flanders Fields
by Canadian Lieutenant Colonel
John McCrae
, inspired by his service during the
2nd Battle of Ypres
. The fields were left unmaintained for years before they were made into a proper memorial. Today Flanders Fields is home to thousands of
poppies
