Flanders Fields is a common English name of the World War I battlefields [1] in an area straddling the Belgian provinces of West Flanders and East Flanders as well as the French department of Nord, part of which makes up the area known as French Flanders.
Flanders Fields is located in the western part of Belgium, one of Europe’s low countries, and is bordered by the Netherlands, France, Germany, and Luxembourg. For most of the Great War, the Western Front ran from the Swiss-German border north toward the Belgian Coast and Ypres (Ieper) is commonly known as the centre of the Flanders Fields region.

13 Δεκ 2023 · Location: Where is Flanders Fields? Flanders Fields is located in the provinces of West Flanders and East Flanders in Belgium. The region encompasses several towns and villages, including Ypres, Poperinge, and Passchendaele, among others.
Ypres and the roughly 20-mile crescent of "high" ground surrounding it to the northeast, east, and south bore the sustained and incomprehensibly devastating brunt of the war in Belgium. French, British Commonwealth, Canadian, and Belgian soldiers fought for four years to keep Ypres (and therefore the Belgian port cities) from German control.
