Tyne Cot Cemetery, Passchendaele Ridge, Belgium, World War I, c1918-1919. The cemetery stands on the spot Where 20,000 British soldiers fell attacking German positions during the Battle of Passchendaele (Third Battle of Ypres) in 1917. The cemetery gets its name from the description by the Northumberland Fusiliers of the German pillboxes as being similar in shape to tyne cots, Tyneside workers' cottages. It is the biggest Commonwealth war cemetery in the world, with 11,954 graves. Stereoscopic card detail.
