Please keep in mind we are just showing a selection of the most impressive sites on the Western Front. The Ypres Salient has dozens of sites worth stopping at.

In August of 2010 my daughter, Susan DeBartolo, and I were honored to place wreath in honor of my aunt, US Army Reserve Nurse Helen Fairchild, who is buried in Somme American Cemetery, France. She served near Poperinghe at Dozinghem Casualty Clearing Station during Third Battle of Passchendaele. She died January 18, 1918.
