Ypres (French and best known as such in English; official Flemish usage is Ieper) is a city in the Flanders region of Belgium, best known as the site of three major battles in the First World War, the most famous being the Battle of Passchendaele from July - November 1916. The many memorials and cemeteries of the fallen draw thousands of pilgrims each year. Population 36,000 (2005).
