    A poignant anecdote about Tyne Cot Cemetery concerns the father and son, Lieutenant Colonel Harry Moorhouse and Captain Ronald Moorhouse. Both served with the 4th Battalion, the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, and were killed within an hour of each other during the Third Battle of Ypres. Harry Moorhouse was seeking medical attention for his badly wounded son when he himself was killed. Their bodies were never recovered, but their names are immortalised on the Tyne Cot Memorial.

    You won't soon forget the impression of this place. Tyne Cot Cemetery is the largest Commonwealth burial site on the continent and the most important witness to the bloody Battle of Passchendaele.

    Around 12,000 soldiers are buried here. The impressive Tyne Cot Memorial lists a further 35,000 names of soldiers whose grave is unknown and who died after August 15, 1917.

    From the visitor center you have a unique view of the ancient battlefields and can hear and see the moving history of Tyne Cot Cemetery and the dead of Passchendaele.
