Departure Day

09:00-12:00

For those who will say until Sunday afternoon/evening. We’ve got something special planned. A battle tour! This is a tourist tour in and around Ypres that examines events and landmarks important to the Battle of Passchendaele, where so many people gave their lives to protect our freedom during World War 1. This is a MUST see experience and an addition to the Last Post at the Menin Gate!

The Agenda is Final! See the sessions, speakers, and plan for the day here.
