Ypres 2018 Part 2 - Ypres CWGC Reservoir & Tyne Cot Cemeteries and Menin Gate
In part two of our Ypres adventure we visit the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Reservoir Cemetery in Ypres and then take a short journey out to Tyne Cot Cemetery. A rather sobering day for us all which really drive home just how many brave soldiers fought for our freedom between 1914 and 1917 in the Ypres Salient. It is fantastic that these places still exist and are so well looked after for all of us to pay our respects.
We round the day off by visiting the Menin Gate Last Post Ceremony which bears the names of 54,000 soldiers who died in The Great War who have no known grave.
