In which country are the Flanders Fields?
The ancient country of Flanders is mostly in eastern Belgium. The famous poem refers to battlefields in Belgium and in northeastern France (mostly, Ypres, the Somme, and Passchendaele), specifically, to 2nd Ypres, which was the battle the author of the poem (John McCrae) fought in.
Where did the Battle of Passchendaele take place?
Passchendaele is in West Flanders in Belgium.
Is there a list of people buried in flanders field?
There doesn't appear to be one online. However Flanders Field cemetary is administered by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) so they could probably provide a list to you.
Is flanders field based on the battle of ypres?
Not exclusively. The British Army always held the northernmost end of the Allied line in France, and at the extreme northern end a tiny slice of Belgium. The British generally held from 50-70 miles of the trenches, which were in the part of France called Flanders. So just about all British troops killed in the war died in some part of Flanders.
After what battle were the Germans faced with an invasion of their own country?
Battle of the argonne forest
