Best Answer

The battlefields of the Western Front are located along a 450 mile stretch and run across many different types of ground. The northern end of the front began on the sandy dunes of the Belgian coast. It continued south through northern France then east through the provinces of Lorraine and Alsace, both then occupied by Imperial Germany, finally terminating on the Swiss border in the south.


Hope it helps! :)
