Ypres
An important early Great War guidebook, written by a man who played a critical role in the Ypres we see today. Henry Beckles Willson was a fierce opponent of the rebuilding of Ypres, feeling that the horrific losses sustained there by the British Army meant that it should always remain a memorial.

In the Ypres Salient, The Story of a Fortnight’s Canadian Fighting, June 2-16 1916 [Illustrated Edition]
Every evening since 1928, the Last Post is sounded in the town of Ypres in West Flanders, and the local fire brigade turn toward the Menin Gate as the local traffic stops.

Change, unceasing, never-ending change, has marked the history of this hemisphere of ours; yet there is one force, one institution, which survived nearly all conditions and all régimes.
