In Flanders fields (1)
The First World War (also known as 'the Great War') was the first international war on a global scale.
Millions of soldiers and civilians died in this terrible conflict that lasted from 1914 to 1918.
In Belgium, extremely heavy battles took place in Flanders fields, situated at the western front of the war.
Throughout the period 2014-2018 many commemorative ceremonies will take place over here in memory of those who fought and died for regaining freedom in our land.
I made a visit to Tyne Cot Cemetery and was very impressed.
***************************************************
With 11.956 white gravestones, Tyne Cot Cemetery is the largest British war cemetery in the world. 70% of the buried soldiers are unknown.
Tyne Cot Cemetery is located in Passendale (Belgium) on the battlefields where in 1917 one of the bloodiest battles of WWI took place.
After the war, the cemetery grounds were assigned to the United Kingdom in perpetuity by King Albert I of Belgium in recognition of the sacrifices made by the British Empire in the defence and liberation of Belgium.

a very poignant image .... a place where so many Canadians have lost their lives.The first chapter of In Flanders Fields :
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below
Greetings, Adele
