Professor Jay Winter launches "After the Great War" outdoor exhibit with @IFFmuseum @enrs_eu The 5 years following 1919 resulted in more global deaths than 5 years of war & determined much of where we are today as a result of politics, collapse & rebuilding of Empires & nations

[Embassy of Ireland, Belgium @IrishEmbBelgium]

The Embassy was delighted to welcome Rebekah Robinson from Portadown who is finishing up her research with @IFFmuseum ✍️

Rebekah shared her experience of contributing to the invaluable work in identifying Irish soldiers who died during WW1.🕊️
We wish her luck with her studies!🇮🇪

Last month, we had the privilege of taking part in a WWI tour around Ypres. Piet Chielens & Annick Vandenbilcke who work in the In Flanders Fields Museum have dedicated their careers to ensure the history of Ypres & those who lost their lives there will not be forgotten.🕊

https://t.co/hEMJw7TszX Our last full day. Visiting the @IFFmuseum in #Ypres was profoundly moving and I can highly recommend a visit to anyone interested in #WWI #history. It brought the stories of soldiers on all sides to life. Also loved the #Welsh memorial ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #authorlife

Can you help reunite an original First World War letter with its owner?

Britt-Marie Beard from Taddington found an original
letter in Tyne Cot cemetery on 11 July. Having found no
possible owner, she brought it to the desk at the
In Flanders Fields Museum. (1/5)

[In Flanders Fields Museum @IFFmuseum]

So someone who lost the letter probably visited Tyne
Cot Cemetery as part of their journey.
It would be wonderful if the owner of the letter could be traced! If you think you can help, please spread the word of this information. (4/5)

Author and reseacher Celina Keute is in Ypres writing and researching her next book on #WW1.
She's interested in how people from different countries commemorate WW1.
She's looking for views, stories and perceptions in interviews (online or in person).
Can you help? 👉🏼Retweet

A great article by Marie Stamp. She volunteered at the museum last spring.👇
