Reconstructed CWGC Cemetery, Colne Valley, Ypres
The Cemetery faces a feature known as Colne Valley. It is on one of the marked walking routes around the Ypres battlefields. This route, the Writers Path, includes sites connected with Hedd Wynn, Francis Ledwidge, David Jones and Edmund Blunden. Industrial development in the second decade of the 21st Century caused the Cemetery to flood completely and it had to be re-built and raised. It is an example of the care and dedication to their task that the Commission always shows. Date: 2016

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Reconstructed CWGC Cemetery, Colne Valley, Ypres (2016) This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) Cemetery in Ypres, Belgium, which faces the picturesque Colne Valley. The cemetery is located on one of the marked walking routes around the Ypres battlefields, known as the Writers Path, which includes sites connected with notable poets Hedd Wynn, Francis Ledwidge, David Jones, and Edmund Blunden. The CWGC Cemetery in Ypres, which faces the Colne Valley, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War (WWI). However, in the second decade of the 21st century, industrial development caused the cemetery to flood completely, necessitating its re-building and raising. The Commission's unwavering dedication to their task is evident in the meticulous restoration of this historic site. The Writers Path is a popular route for visitors seeking to connect with the history and heritage of the Ypres battlefields. The path offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the lives lost during WWI while appreciating the natural beauty of the Colne Valley. The reconstructed CWGC Cemetery stands as a testament to the enduring commitment of the Commission to preserve the memory of those who gave their lives in the service of their countries. The photograph was taken in 2016 and is an example of the care and dedication the Commission always shows in maintaining and preserving the graves of the fallen soldiers of WWI. The CWGC's mission to remember and honor those who died in the service of their countries remains as relevant today as it was a century ago.
