The town of Poperinge (now Poperinge) was of great importance during the First World War because, although occasionally bombed or bombed from a distance, it was the closest town to Ypres (now Ypres), which was both substantial and reasonably safe. It initially served as a center for wounded units, but by 1916 it became necessary to move these units further back, and their places were taken by field ambulances. The earliest Commonwealth graves in the town are in the municipal cemetery. The Old Military Cemetery was established during the First Battle of Ypres and, as far as Commonwealth graves are concerned, was closed in early May 1915. The New Military Cemetery was established in June 1915. The New Military Cemetery contains 677 Commonwealth burials of the First World War and 271 French war graves. The cemetery was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield. Source: https://www.cwgc.org/visit-us/find-cemeteries-memorials/cemetery-details/14500/poperinghe-new-military-cemetery/

Poperinge town was in British hands for almost the entire war. It was an important location because it was the closest town to Ypres, relatively safe from bombardment, and of considerable size. Initially, it served as a center for Casualty Clearing Stations, but in 1916 these were withdrawn and replaced by Field Ambulances. The first Commonwealth burials were in the town cemetery (Poperinge Communal Cemetery). The Old Military Cemetery was used during the First Battle of Ypres and closed, at least for Commonwealth burials, in early May 1915. The New Military Cemetery opened in June 1915. This cemetery contains 677 Commonwealth graves and 274 graves of other nationalities, including 271 French. The cemetery was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield.

Poperinge is known for its hop cultivation, and this is clearly visible in the surrounding countryside. Cycling through the area, you'll come across these hop fields, where the hop plant is cultivated. Curious about the harvest? Then settle down on one of Poperinge's terraces and sample the local beers. Cheers!
