Description

Der Flanders Field American Cemetery and Memorial ist ein amerikanischer Militärfriedhof in der belgischen Stadt Waregem, gelegen an der Kreuzung von Wortegemseweg und Bosstraat, nahe der Ausfahrt der Autobahn E17. Es ist der einzige amerikanische Friedhof in Belgien mit Gefallenen aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg. Er liegt in der Nähe der Spitaalsbossen, dem Ort, an dem die meisten amerikanischen Soldaten während der Schlacht an der Schelde um den 1. November 1918 gefallen sind. Soldaten, die zunächst anderswo begraben wurden, sind in den Jahren nach dem Waffenstillstand feierlich auf dem Flanders Field American Cemetery umgebettet worden. Der Architekt des Friedhofs ist Paul P. Cret aus Philadelphia im US-Bundesstaat Pennsylvania.
