The war memorial in Poperinge commemorates the military and civilian victims of the First and Second World Wars.
The inscription on the monument reads: "FREEDOM / TO OUR HEROES / 1914-1918 / AND 1940-1945."
The names of Belgian soldiers who died in the First World War are listed alphabetically on the three sides of the monument.
After the Second World War, the names of the war victims were added to the plinth. These include soldiers, political prisoners, deportees, and resistance fighters.
