Wipers

Located adjacent to Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance, this Memorial commemorates the thousands of Australian lives lost during the fighting at Ypres (or Ieper in Belgium) during WWI. "Wipers" was the British and Empire soldiers' appropriately-named corruption of Ypres. During the five battle campaigns around the town and Passchendaele from 1914 to 1918, "Wipers" literally became a stalemated meat grinder for both the Allied and German armies.
