Welsh Memorial Park, Ypres, War memorial park in Langemark-Poelkapelle, Belgium.
The Welsh National Memorial Park features a large red dragon sculpture representing Wales, alongside memorial stones dedicated to different Welsh military units.
The memorial marks the location where the 38th Welsh Division initiated the Battle of Passchendaele on July 31, 1917, during the First World War.
The park stands as a symbol of Welsh military heritage, commemorating all Welsh men and women who participated in World War I through service and industry.
Visitors can access the memorial park via the main road in Langemark-Poelkapelle, with additional World War I sites and museums in the surrounding area.
The memorial resulted from a joint Flemish-Welsh volunteer initiative in 2014, receiving support from both the local municipality and Welsh government.
