“DOWN WIPERS WAY.”—Those who saw Ypres (known to the British troops as “Wipers”) after the German shells had done their worst with the town would scarcely recognise the trim little Belgian city now. Streets of houses have been rebuilt and, except for the ruins of the Cloth Hall, there is little to indicate the ravages that Ypres suffered. Photograph shows the restoration work in the Grand Place at Ypres, showing the progress that has been made with the war-battered cathedral. It will be seen that the work on the exterior is nearly completed and that work has been started on the restoration of the tower of the Cloth Hall.
