    A look back in history.

    Ypres was the town that WSC said should not be rebuilt as a shrine to illustrate the horror of war....his advice was not taken and Ypres was rebuilt from its ruined state to be the fine and memorable town it is today.

    The tour buses look to be in the area of the railway station from my recollection.
