Ypres (; ; , ) is a Belgian municipality located in the Flemish province of West Flanders. Though Ieper is the official name, the city's French name, Ypres, is most commonly used in English. The municipality comprises the city of Ypres and the villages of Boezinge, Brielen, Dikkebus, Elverdinge, Hollebeke, Sint-Jan, Vlamertinge, Voormezele, Zillebeke, and Zuidschote. Together, they are home to about 34,900 inhabitants.
During the First World War, Ypres was the centre of intense and sustained battles between German and Allied forces. During the war, because the British troops had trouble pronouncing its name, they nicknamed the city "Wipers".
Ypres was a 1925 feature-length documentary produced by British Instructional Films, directed by Walter Summers. It was made up entirely of reconstructions of the various Battles of Ypres performed by members of the British armed forces. The following year Summers directed another battle reconstruction Mons.
The film was remastered with a new soundtrack for its DVD release in 2010. The documentary can be viewed in its entirety on the British Pathe website.
