Dadizele has been a renowned place of pilgrimage since the 15th century. Pilgrims worship the statue of Our Lady and Child there. Construction of the basilica began in 1857 in response to the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854. Monsignor Malou, Bishop of Bruges, wanted a monumental church for his diocese to honor this dogma. The plans were by the English architect Welby Pugin. The church of Dadizele was elevated to a basilica in 1882 by Pope Leo XIII. Along with the Chapel of the Holy Blood in Bruges and the abbey church of Zevenkerken, the Basilica of Our Lady is the only basilica in the diocese. The beautiful stained-glass windows depict not only the history of the church but also various facts from the life of Mary. In the crypt, we see the tomb, spurs, gloves, and sword of Knight Jan van Dadizele. The basilica is a protected monument and remains very popular, especially during the pilgrimage months of May and September. Source: toerismedadizele.be

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.

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.

This war memorial, a M108 Howitzer, commemorates the fallen soldiers who died during the Battle of the Leie. (24 - 26 May 1940, WW2). The first superstructure, M109 Howitzer, was donated in 1997 by the Sixth Artillery Regiment for the 30th anniversary of the connection with the city of Waregem. In 2008, during the celebration of V-Day, a complete M108 Howitzer was donated by the artillery department from Brasschaat. This confirmed the 40th anniversary of connection. During the construction of the new bridge over the Leie a few years ago, the artillery vehicle was temporarily moved. This armoured vehicle can be admired on the border of Ooigem and Desselgem, on the Desselgem side of the new Munken Bridge.

The site covers an area of 34,941 m² and is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The cemetery was designed by Herbert Baker in collaboration with John Truelove. A wall of black flint stones, covered with white natural stone, surrounds it. The entrance building is also built of black flint. At the rear is the semi-circular Tyne Cot Memorial with the names of 33,783 missing British soldiers and, in a separate apse, another 1,176 missing New Zealanders. (Wikipedia) It remains impressive every time I pass here on a walk or bike ride. But also those thoughts of absurd and pointless waste of human lives...
