Flanders Fields Guide

Flanders Field American Cemetery and Memorial is a cemetery in Waregem, Belgium, for 368 American soldiers who died in battle in World War I. Most of these American military personnel died while liberating Belgium during the war.

The cemetery occupies a six acre (24,000 m²) site. Masses of graceful trees and shrubbery frame the burial area and screen it from the passing traffic. At the ends of the paths, leading to three of the corners of the cemetery, are circular retreats with benches and urns. The headstones are aligned in four symmetrical areas around the white stone chapel that stands in the center of the cemetery.

Flanders Field lies on the southeast edge of the town of Waregem, along the Lille-Ghent E17 highway. It is located 175 mi (282 km) north of Paris, France and 46 mi (74 km) west of Brussels. The cemetery is within 30 mi (48 km) of Brugge (Bruges) and Gent (Ghent), two cities in Flanders. Waregem may be reached by train from Brussels via Ghent in approximately one hour; from Paris, Gare du Nord, in about five hours via Lille and Kortrijk (Courtrai), and five and a half hours via Brussels and Ghent. Taxi service is available from the station in Waregem.
