Trench Of Death (Dodengang) is a World War I memorial site located near Diksmuide, Belgium. The Dodengang is a 270 m section of the preserved trench where many soldiers were killed in World War I. The trench was begun at the time of the Battle of the Yser and was defended by soldiers of the Belgian Army. As part of the Yser Front, it played a key role in preserving the front line in this area and stopping further German incursions across the Yser Canal.

In the Battle of the Yser, the Belgian army retreated behind the Yser Canal and dug in. The Belgian fortifications on the Yser Front along the canal bank consisted of a trench and a series of bunkers. After the war, the Dodengang became one of the first memorial sites in Belgium to be opened to the public as a tourist attraction. A new museum was built on the site in recent years.
