Two weeks in #belgium🇧🇪 were over too fast some summers ago and so was my photographic #journey into some facts and parts of #worldwar1. Not only was #inflandersfields created at this place, indeed the youngest fallen hero is buried here: #vjstrudwick is told to have fallen at the age of 15 - unbelievable and sad! 😢 Lest we forget all those who gave their utter sacrifice for freedom - true heroes they were!

Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery in Poperinge, Flanders, is the prime witness of more than four years of violent warfare. From 1915 until 1920, the hamlet of Lijssenthoek became the venue for the biggest evacuation hospital in the Ypres Salient.

No one can prepare you for the impact Tyne Cot Cemetery has on a human mind of today, being not aware of the terrors and fears that came with The Great War. 11,965 burials, of which 8,369 are unnamed, mark the Belgian landscape while fields of crops and wheat embrace this monumental site.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Hold your breath and try to walk humbly over this burial ground once you made it to this region in Belgium - and try to learn from history (which we all should do but seemingly still fail)!⁣
