There are no graves marked in Flanders Fields, as there is no specific place. It is a part of a famous WW1 poem, and generically refers to the fighting places in the northern part of Belgium known as Flanders. The poem ("In Flanders Fields") was written by a Canadian physician John McCrae in 1915, and memorializes those killed in fighting in WW1.
