EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the solemn beauty and grandeur of Tyne Cot Cemetery in Passchendaele, Belgium, the largest British Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) cemetery in the world. Designed by renowned architect Sir Herbert Baker, who also designed the tomb of Cecil Rhodes in Delhi, India, the cemetery was established in October 1917 during the First World War, particularly during the Battle of Passchendaele, also known as the Third Battle of Ypres. At the top end of the cemetery, a Memorial Wall stands proudly, bearing the names of over 34,000 soldiers who lost their lives during the war and have no known grave. In the center, an uneven array of headstones marks the graves of nearly 12,000 soldiers who were buried at Tyne Cot. The topography of the cemetery is a poignant reminder of the harsh conditions endured by the soldiers during the battle. The Menin Gate Memorial, located in the town of Ypres, holds the names of over 54,000 soldiers who have no known grave, making it a significant landmark in the region. Tyne Cot Cemetery serves as a powerful testament to the sacrifices made by the British and Commonwealth forces during the First World War. This photograph, taken in 2007, captures the timeless and moving essence of Tyne Cot Cemetery, a place of reflection and remembrance for all those who lost their lives during the conflict. The cemetery continues to be a popular destination for tourists and pilgrims alike, serving as a reminder of the sacrifices made during one of the most significant periods in human history.
