So that every visitor becomes aware of the horror and hell of war in the past. That humanity learns nothing by slaughtering each other for nothing. But we are led by idiots and power-hungry people!!

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.

The Welsh National Memorial Park in Langemark, near Ypres, Belgium, commemorates the men and women of Wales who fought in the First World War. The memorial was unveiled on 16 August 2014 and is located on Pilkem Ridge, a key location during the Third Battle of Ypres. The park features a cromlech, a traditional Celtic structure, topped by a bronze dragon. The park honours the efforts of the 38th (Welsh) Division, which played a crucial role in the battle on 31 July 1917. Poet Ellis Humphrey Evans, known as Hedd Wyn, was killed here on the same day.

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.
