Sounds like you have toured much more of that area than I ever have. I was over there on business and was pressed for time. Through work, we were taken on a tour to Ypres to the Great War Museum. I ducked out early to run up to the Menin Gate to find the name of a relative. Then it was off to Essex Farm, St.Julian, and then Tyne Cot cemetery. On my own I drove from Brugge to Vimy Ridge for a day.
Next trip I would like to drive up to Holland to see the grave of an uncle who was killed along the German Dutch border near the end of the WWII. Also need to head back to Ypres to spend a decent amount of time at the museum and surrounding area, including the Menin Gate.
