Ypres, Belgium WWI
Flanders Fields (Ypres) is where John McCrae wrote the well-known poem. It is the first place poison gas was used in war and a miserable place to fight.
The Somme Battlefield is renowned for its historical significance as one of the deadliest days in British military history, with over 20,000 soldiers killed from the British Empire—comprising England, Scotland, Newfoundland, Canada, and Australia. Pozieres, where these images were captured, is historically notable as the first battlefield where tanks were deployed in combat. In the vicinity of the Windmill site, I collected an extensive number of shrapnel fragments (ball bearings), from an area of merely 100 square meters. Even today, remnants of the conflict persist, with unexploded ordnance, human remains, weapon components, and ammunition still found on site. The experience for the soldiers who fought here was nothing short of hellish.
