Railway Dugouts Burial Ground, World War I military cemetery in Zillebeke, Belgium.

Railway Dugouts Burial Ground is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery in Zillebeke, near Ypres, designed by Edwin Lutyens with John Truelove. Its 17,395 m² irregular site holds 2,463 graves in rows of pale headstones, a Cross of Sacrifice beside a bomb-crater pond, and a Stone of Remembrance near two arched entrance buildings.

The cemetery was established in 1915 near Advanced Dressing Stations and served as a burial ground throughout World War I until 1918. It reflects the period when this location functioned both for medical care and remembrance.

The grounds were granted to the United Kingdom in perpetuity by King Albert I of Belgium. Headstones whose graves were lost carry the line "Their Glory Shall Not Be Blotted Out", devised by Rudyard Kipling. Sixteen soldiers here enlisted under an alias, and the brothers Reginald and Frederick Wild of the Manitoba Regiment fell on the same day, 21 August 1916, and are commemorated side by side.

The cemetery is open daily and accessible through a dedicated entrance gate where you can find information about the soldiers buried here. An on-site registry helps you locate specific graves and learn about those buried.

Second Lieutenant Frederick Youens of the 13th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry, was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for picking up an enemy grenade to throw it clear of his machine-gun team; it detonated in his hand and he died of his wounds on 7 July 1917, aged 24.
