Tyne Cot Cemetery, Commonwealth military cemetery in Passendale, Belgium.
The Tyne Cot Cemetery contains 11,965 graves of Commonwealth soldiers and stands as the largest burial ground of its kind in the world.
The cemetery was established in October 1917 after Australian and New Zealand forces captured the area during the Battle of Passchendaele.
The memorial wall displays the names of 33,783 British and 1,176 New Zealand soldiers who went missing during battles in the Ypres Salient.
The cemetery includes a visitor center that provides detailed information about the soldiers buried here and the historical context of World War I.
The Cross of Sacrifice at Tyne Cot rests upon a German concrete bunker that remained from the original battlefield fortifications.
