Description

Het Flanders Field American Cemetery and Memorial is een Amerikaanse militaire begraafplaats in de Belgische stad Waregem, gelegen op het kruispunt van de Wortegemseweg en de Bosstraat, vlak bij de afrit van de autosnelweg E17. Het is de enige Amerikaanse begraafplaats in België met gesneuvelden uit de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Ze ligt vlak bij de Spitaalsbossen, de plaats waar de meeste Amerikaanse soldaten gesneuveld zijn tijdens de slag aan de Schelde rond 1 november 1918. Soldaten die eerst elders werden begraven, zijn in de jaren na Wapenstilstand plechtig herbegraven op het Flanders Field American Cemetery. De architect van de begraafplaats is Paul P. Cret uit Philadelphia, in de Amerikaanse staat Pennsylvania.
