Most of them fell during the Second Battle of Messines. The Irish Peace Park, the round tower is a typical Irish symbol and commemorates all Irish soldiers who died during WWI.

In front of the tourist information point in the heart of Messines, an impressive bronze statue commemorates an exceptional moment of humanity during the First World War: the Christmas Truce of 1914. Designed by British artist Andrew Edwards, the statue shows a British and a German soldier shaking hands, with a football at their feet. It symbolises the spontaneous ceasefire on Christmas Day, when soldiers from both sides left their trenches, sang Christmas carols together, exchanged gifts and even played a game of football in no man's land. After a tour of Europe – with stops in Wembley Stadium and Ypres, among others – the statue was given its permanent place in Messines in 2015, where the Christmas Truce actually took place. It is 3.7 metres long and 2.5 metres high, and radiates a powerful message of peace, unity and hope.
