Tyne Cot Cemetery is the largest Commonwealth cemetery in the world, located near Passchendaele. It was established in October 1917 and contains over 11,000 graves of soldiers who died during the First World War. The site was strategically important during the Battle of Passchendaele and was used as an advanced dressing station after its capture by the 3rd Australian Division on 4 October 1917.
The cemetery was designed by Sir Herbert Baker and includes an impressive Cross of Sacrifice, built on a former German bunker. The cemetery was significantly expanded after the Armistice to include graves from nearby battlefields and smaller cemeteries.

Tyne Cot Cemetery, located in Passchendaele, Flanders, is the largest British military cemetery on the European mainland. This impressive First World War memorial contains the graves of thousands of soldiers who died in the Battle of Passchendaele. The serene and expansive Tyne Cot fields, with rows of white gravestones and the impressive Cross of Sacrifice, offer a poignant place for reflection and tribute. The visitor centre tells the stories of the soldiers and makes history tangible for every visitor.
