OW Great War
Commemorative visit
to the Ypres Salient
Monday 11th to
Thursday 14th
September, 2017
Michael Wallis (Chairman of the
WW1 Commemoration Committee) is
leading this trip and has already had to
make a provisional hotel reservation!
He has chosen the Hotel Ariane at the
heart of Ypres, just a mortar-shell
trajectory from the Cloth Hall and the
Menin Gate. However, the hotel can
hold these rooms only for a short time:
the pressure on all forms of
accommodation in and around Ypres is
extraordinary, given the up-coming
100th anniversary of the 3rd Battle of
Ypres and the taking of Passchendaele.
Even more Wykehamists fought and
died in the battles around Ypres than on
the Somme in 1916.
The tour will cover all the main
Wykehamical battle sites: we will look
at the 2nd Battle of Ypres, the Messines
Ridge mines and 3rd Ypres. We will also
visit the largest German cemetery in the
Salient, retracing parts of Adolf Hitler’s
visit there in late June of 1940. Further
