This kilometre-long network of revetments, saps and dug-outs was one of the most dangerous Belgian positions on the Western Front, situated just 50 metres from a German bunker. As a result, the trench was subjected to almost constant fire from the Germans. The site has recently been renovated and a new visitor centre was opened. Using maps, photographs, videos and war memorabilia, the exhibition tells the story of life - and death - in the front-line.
