Langemark is a town in the Belgian province of West Flanders, part of the municipality of Langemark-Poelkapelle. Written as Langemarck on French and British maps, the village is known in military history as the scene of the first gas attacks by the German army, which marked the beginning of the Second Battle of Ypres in April 1915. There is now a major German war cemetery (Soldatenfriedhof) in this location.
