The largest "Silent City" of them all. In amongst the headstones, the Year 9 students were searching for the fallen soldiers we had given them to find. They found them all and marked their final resting place with a wooden cross and a silent thought. @CWGC #TyneCot #ypres

Coach 6 visited Tyne Cot Cemetery earlier today, the largest Commonwealth War Grave site in the world 🇧🇪 A moving and humbling experience that brought home the scale of sacrifice in WWI, and pupils were clearly moved by the experience. #TyneCot #WWI #EnrichmentWeek

Net bij #TyneCot geweest, en wow… wat een plek. Het is de grootste militaire begraafplaats van het Gemenebest uit #WOI, met bijna 12.000 graven. Bizar om te zien hoeveel jonge gasten daar liggen, vaak zelfs zonder naam. Je voelt daar echt de triestheid van deze oorlog. We hebben met onze eenheid een krans gelegd, als afsluiter van onze #battleFieldTour. Mooi en eervol moment samen. Deze dagen waren indrukwekkend, vol verhalen en plekken die je niet snel vergeet. Echt iets wat je meegemaakt moet hebben als je iets met geschiedenis van de eerste wereldoorlog hebt of iets over wilt leren.

Back at the start of summer I had the honour of travelling to Tyne Cot Cemetery with the Victory Medal and Memorial Plaque of a soldier who's on the memorial. My latest video telling the story is live on YouTube now. Link is below #tynecot #ww1 https://t.co/TLd5FO6Tu1
