The Flanders Field American Cemetery honors American soldiers who died in World War I. There are 368 brave souls at rest in this cemetery, all who gave their lives to liberate Belgium.
This peaceful place of rest was established in 1921 and named after a poem by poet and veteran Lt Col. John McCrae. It reads "We are the Dead. Short days ago. We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow. Loved and were loved, and now we lie. In Flanders fields."
Pan around the Flanders Field American Cemetery.
The tombstones of the 368 soldiers surround a white limestone memorial chapel built in 1930 that stands in the center of the cemetery and the endless green.
Stark against the grass, the white cross headstones mark the graves of American soldiers from the 91st, 37th, 27th, and 30th AEF Divisions who lost their lives in nearby battles.
WWI was one of the deadliest the world has ever seen and The Flanders Field American Cemetery and Chapel continue to keep the memory of each and every soldier alive, shifting our focus from the war to life.
