Belgian town in West Flanders province that was completely destroyed in World War I (5)

I believe the answer is:

ypres

(Other definitions for ypres that I've seen before include "Belgian World War One battle site" , "Scene of action" , "WW One battle site" , "WW1 battle site" , "in northern Europe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
