School Trips to Ypres
A school trip to Ypres is ideal for students studying the First World War in any capacity, from the warfare itself to the literature borne from the soldiers’ experiences, and even the history of medicine and its development during WW1.
This small Belgian town occupied an important strategic position, as it stood in the path of the Germans’ Schlieffen Plan, as they planned to sweep into France from the north. There are many fascinating sites of interest in and around Ypres that will bring this period to life for your students.
Not to be missed on an English literature or history school trip to Ypres is the opportunity to take part in the moving Last Post Ceremony, which takes place every evening at the town’s famous Menin Gate. Some of your students will be able to lay a wreath as part of the ceremony, and this will be an honour that they will never forget.
