Day 5 of the St. Patrick Social Science trip the Northern Europe in March 2025. The video covers our day in the Flanders area of Belgium. First we paid our respects to those buried in the Tyne Cot Cemetery, one of the largest Commonwealth cemeteries in the world. Later we travelled a short distance to the Passchendaele Museum with its amazing trenches and then on to Ieper/Ypres. We explored parts of the city, including the In Flanders Fields Museum and finally took in the daily Menin Gate ceremony.
