Ieper Mural

Wall painting from the interwar period, applied to the side wall of a house. It is the last, most westerly house in a row of six workers' houses from the early 1920s. The building plan for this row of houses by architect R. Taurel is dated August 18, 1922.

 

The mural consists of an advertisement by the British veterans' association 'British Legion' for 'Haig House', a reception place for British pilgrims visiting the front around Ypres.
