In beide boeken volgt hij eenzelfde lijn, met veel aandacht voor de geschiedenis van de wereldoorlog in het algemeen en verloop daarvan bij het besproken gebied in het bijzonder.
Ieper, ook wel Ieperen genoemd, ligt in West-Vlaanderen, tegen de Franse grens aan; ooit was het een prachtige middeleeuwse stad.
Deze route laat het gebied zuidwestelijk van Ieper liggen (met onder meer de Kemmelberg en het Croonaart-bosje waar in 1979 nog de lijken van vier Fransen en drie Duitsers werden gevonden en waar sinds kort een museum staat), maar daar kan de bezoeker op eigen houtje wel komen.

 Ieper / Ypres
For centuries Ieper (Ypres in French and known to the British throughout the First World War as Wipers), was one of the great cloth marketing towns along with Ghent and Bruges.
It was through the Rijselpoort (Or Lille gate) that most of the men of the BEF (British Expeditionary Force) were to leave Ieper on their way to the front.
It was probably the better of the two gates compared with the Menin Gate because its position on the south side of the town left it slightly less exposed to bombardment.

Ypres (Ieper in Dutch), set among the low, gentle slopes of the West Flanders Heuvelland (Hill Country), owed its early prosperity to a textile industry that peaked in the 13th century.
Over the centuries, the handsome town was victimized by one war after another and became a ghost of its former self.
