    Memetz Wood is very poignant

    as is Thiepval

    The Passchendaele museum in Zonnebeke is excellent, with Tyne Cot & Artillery Wood (Hedd Wyn) close by.

    This.

    Plus if you want to WW2 the Normandy beaches are a must. Avoid the tourist traps though, the French are definitely after your cash! Recommend Pont du Hoc, Omaha Beach + USA Cemetery, German Cemetery near La Camme, Commonwealth Cemetery outside Bayeux (also pop in to see the Tapestry, really good!), and then over to Pegasus Bridge. You can easily spend 3-4 days there.
