The world had never witnessed a conflict like World War I. It was the most devastating war ever, causing death and destruction on a huge scale. In Belgium, this war was fought in the trenches behind the Yser. A wet and greyish place where the Belgians got stuck for four long years. It defined a generation and had a lot of consequences. World War I had an impact for years to follow, up until now.
