Day 19 - Ypres

Today we explored the battlefields surrounding Messines Ridge and Ypres and visited many cemeteries commemorating the thousands of young men who lost their life in this war.

    

We heard the stories of soldiers that staff and students researched in their Digger Project and reflected on their courageous efforts.
