Battlefields Tour #4 - WWI
Our first stop on Wednesday morning was a visit to Tyne Cot Cemetery - the largest CWCG cemetery on The Ypres Salient. There are almost 12,000 graves of which over 8,000 are un-named. There are a total of 35,000 names on the memorial walls of those buried with no known grave.
The first time I went to this cemetery I was with Mum, Dad , Nick & Tim; and have been back again on a previous tour ... and however many times I visit, it is a very special time.
One of the German bunkers
This is a special site for those from New Zealand ... and there memorial logo is special.
From there we went to The Brooding Soldier ... a memorial of the Canadians who were killed by gas attacks
