Our former Patron, the Right Honourable Helen Clark (then Prime Minister of New Zealand) signed the Ypres Agreement on behalf of the New Zealand Government together with the Flemish Government in October 2007. That agreement resolved to cooperate in “…increasing broad community recognition…educating younger generations…honouring the war dead…preserving heritage material…and encouraging tourism to commemorative and historical sites in Flanders and New Zealand.” The Ypres Agreement inspired the Passchendaele Memorial Museum to create a travelling exhibition in 2009 entitled “Passchendaele: The Belgians Have Not Forgotten”.
