Langemark-Poelkapelle

Travel Guide

We drove the Ypres Salient in the Flanders region of Belgium to visit the memorial sites from World War I. Of particular interest to us were the Canadian memorials along the way. The Brooding Soldier was the most poignant memorial we came across. The imposing granite statue faces the same direction where the first German gas attack took place. 2,000 Canadian soldiers died in this area. It is as if the soldier stands guard over the fallen men of combat.

I liked the size of the room. I didn’t like the old heater type (dries the air too much) or the shower design (taking a shower floods half of the bathroom area).
