“We can truly say that
the whole circuit of the earth is girdled with the graves of our dead. In the course of my pilgrimage, I have many
times asked myself whether there can be more potent advocates of peace upon
earth through the years to come, than this massed multitude of silent witnesses
to the desolation of war.”
King George V, Tyne
Cot Cemetery, 11 May 1922
We will remember them.
Indeed Sidney, Tyne Cot is a truly moving place.
