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!

Lest we forget.

Remember Canada’s Veterans

Tyne Cot Cemetery from above. No further words needed.

"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.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields."

A great view from Brussel's Atomium, showing the wide and beautiful landscape while delivering the proof what a masterpiece this construction was when being built for the Expo in 1958!

The Grand-Place aka. "Grand Square" (English) or "Grote Markt" (Dutch) is the central square of Brussels, Belgium. It is surrounded by opulent Baroque guildhalls of the former Guilds of Brussels and two larger edifices; the city's Flamboyant Town Hall, and the neo-Gothic King's House or Bread House building, containing the Brussels City Museum. The square measures 68 by 110 metres (223 by 361 ft) and is entirely paved and is the vivid centre of the wonderful city of Brussels.
