EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Ubiquitous Green Signs of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in Potijze, 2016" The hauntingly beautiful landscape of Potijze, Belgium, is dotted with reminders of the past - the ubiquitous green signs of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) marking the way to three significant burial sites: Potijze Chateau Grounds, Potijze Chateau Lawn, and Potijze Chateau Wood Cemeteries. These tranquil resting places hold the remains of over 11,000 soldiers who lost their lives during the First World War, particularly during the Battle of Ypres in 1914-1918. The typical CWGC signs, with their distinctive green background and white lettering, stand out against the lush greenery of the landscape. Their presence is a testament to the enduring commitment of the Commission to remember and honor the sacrifices made by the fallen soldiers. The signs, which point the way to these hallowed grounds, serve as a poignant reminder of the immense human cost of war. The Potijze Chateau Grounds, Lawn, and Wood Cemeteries are just a few of the over 23,000 CWGC sites located in 153 countries. These sites provide a place of peace and reflection, where visitors can pay their respects to the brave men and women who gave their lives in defense of their countries. The CWGC signs, with their quiet dignity, guide visitors to these sacred spaces, ensuring that the memory of those who fell in the Great War is never forgotten. This evocative image, captured in 2016, captures the essence of the CWGC signs and their role in preserving the legacy of the fallen soldiers. The signs, with their simple yet powerful design, stand as a testament to the enduring power of remembrance and the importance of honoring the sacrifices made by those who gave their lives in the service of their countries.
