Fighting in Flanders: GAS. MUD. MEMORY.
June 30 – September 22
This travelling exhibition was developed by the Canadian War Museum in partnership with the Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917, Belgium, and with the generous support of the E.W. Bickle Foundation.
The exhibition will help visitors learn more about the experiences of Canadian soldiers in Belgium. Both versions explore life on the battlefield, which was characterized by the use of poison gas during the Second Battle of Ypres, and by a sea of thick mud at Passchendaele. The adaptability of soldiers and Belgian civilians lies at the heart of this exhibition, which ends with an overview of how commemoration of the war has evolved in Belgium and Canada over the past century. The exhibition is supported by National Presenting Sponsor VISITFLANDERS.
The LCSC will be hosting a gala in honour of this exhibit on July 17 from 7:00pm – 9:00pm. Live entertainment and refreshments provided. Tickets go on sale soon.
