The Jacobite rebellion of 1745 culminated in the last pitched battle ever fought on British soil, and with the defeat of the Jacobite army it brought the curtain down on almost one hundred

The strategic location of Ypres meant that it was privy to some of the most horrific battles on the Western Front while conditions in the town were barely fit for human existence.

The Battle of the Somme, fought from July to November 1916, was amongst the largest of World War I battles, but also one of the bloodiest ever recorded.
