Tyne Cot Memorial, Commonwealth War Memorial in Passendale, Belgium.
The Tyne Cot Memorial consists of a curved stone wall stretching 150 meters long, displaying names of fallen soldiers from World War I.
The memorial commemorates 34,887 British and New Zealand soldiers who perished after August 16, 1917, and whose bodies were never recovered.
The stone panels contain inscriptions of soldiers arranged by military regiment and rank, with a dedicated New Zealand section in the central apse.
Visitors can locate specific names using the registry book in the left rotunda or through the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website database.
The memorial stands upon captured German concrete bunkers, with the central Cross of Sacrifice purposefully built atop one of these military structures.
