*Mindesmærke for de savnede*
Denne kirkegård tilhører Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) og mindes de savnede soldater fra Første Verdenskrig, der kæmpede i den umiddelbare nærhed af Ypres ved den vestlige front.
Jorden, hvor mindesmærket står, er ikke belgisk: den blev givet til Storbritannien af Kong Albert I som anerkendelse af de ofre, det britiske imperium har ydet ved forsvar og befrielse af Belgien under krigen.
Her ser du et smukt rundt tempel, bygget af Chalton Bradshaw (som også tegnede mindesmærket i Cambrai), bevogtet af to stenløver. Navnene på 11.447 savnede britiske soldater er indgraveret i murene her.
Siden 7. juni 1999 spilles "Last Post" her efter anmodning fra "Mindesmærkekomitéen i Ploegsteert" hver første fredag i måneden.
