HYDE PARK CORNER CEMETERY & MEMORIAL BELGIUM

The Hyde Park Corner (Royal Berks) Cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery in the Hainaut Region of Belgium. It is close to Ploegsteert Wood. 
The cemetery was first used in 1915. 

Nearby is an extension and the Ploegsteert Memorial honoring 11,000 World War I commonwealth servicemen who died in this area.

Yser Museum Belgium and World War I

A 275-foot tower rises above Flanders Fields. I was there on a clear day, which affords broad views of the old battlescape ––Nieuwpoort, Passhendaele, Ypres, Poperinge, Ploegsteert.

There are 22 floors in the museum, which help visitors thinks about the people and the land, which experienced so much destruction. In between the carnage and memories of lost loved ones, are photos of those who offered sustenance and messages of peace.

The size of some displays provokes the sort of thinking that’s hard to experience when reading a book or glancing at an old photo.

Shells as Urns

In addition to lessons of war and peace, we can learn about Flemish culture (Read More).
