New Irish Farm Cemetery

New Irish Farm Cemetery contains 4,716 graves marked with white headstones, arranged in neat rows across carefully maintained grass grounds near Ypres.

The cemetery, established in August 1917, initially held 73 graves and expanded after the war by incorporating remains from smaller burial sites in northeast Ypres.

The cemetery serves as a memorial site for soldiers from the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and Undivided India who died in World War I.

Located at coordinates 50.873056, 2.8975, the cemetery maintains regular opening hours and provides visitor access through well-maintained pathways throughout the grounds.
