The Lille Gate in the Ypres ramparts seen across the moat
Ypres is a walled city and it has several routes into it. The two most well-known of its gates through the ramparts are via the Menin Gate (on the old road to Menin) and the Lille Gate (on the old road to Lille). Contrary to popular opinion, most British troops moving up to the Salient did so via this gate because the Menin gate was particularly exposed to enemy shell fire. The pillars on either side of the archway date from 1395 and the ramparts were revamped by Vauban
