Exhibition: Irish blood on Flemish soil - Kemmel - 07/06/2017
07/06/2017 - Kemmel
The church in Kemmel is the setting for the thematic exhibition 'Irish blood on Flemish soil'. Ireland has had a troubled history. Yet during the Mine Battle of Messines the 16th (Irish) Division and the 36th (Ulster) Division fought side by side. In view of their underlying political differences, it is justified to regard this as a unique act of partnership and co-operation. Even today, this collaborative participation in the battle has a strong symbolic value. More info: www.flandersfields.be/en/1917
The exhibition can be visited in the church of Kemmel, St.-Laurentiusplein 1, 8956 Kemmel. Access is free.
The official inauguration took place on Wednesday, 7 June 2017.
Mayor Marc Lewyllie of Heuvelland.
Address by Geert Bourgeos, minister-president of Flanders.
And by Irish minister Charles Flanagan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
Official inauguration.
