|
| The Island of Ireland Peace Park and its surrounding park (Páirc Siochána d'Oileán na h'Éireann),
also called the "Irish Peace Park" or "Irish Peace Tower" in Messines,
near Ypres in Flanders, Belgium, is a war memorial to the soldiers of
the island of Ireland who died, were wounded or are missing from World
War I.The tower memorial is close to the site of the June 1917 battle
for the Messines Ridge and was chosen because that battle witnessed one
of the few where Irish Catholics and
Protestants , soldiers of all traditions from the Island of Ireland fought side by side against a common enemy. |
