Flanders Fields is a region in Belgium known for its role in World War I. It became a significant battleground, particularly during the First Battle of Ypres in 1914 and the Second Battle of Ypres in 1915. The area is marked by numerous cemeteries and memorials honoring the soldiers who fought and died there. The phrase "In Flanders Fields" is also the title of a famous poem written by John McCrae, a Canadian physician and soldier. The poem reflects on the sacrifices made by soldiers and has become a symbol of remembrance, particularly during Remembrance Day ceremonies.
