Menenpoort

The Menin Gate was built by the British in 1927 on the east side of Ypres, in memory of the approximately 54,900 soldiers who fought in the First World War and died on the battlefields around Ypres. Their bodies were never found or identified. All their names are engraved on the walls of the Menin Gate. The remains of these soldiers have no known grave and are either lost somewhere in the Ypres fields, or a war cemetery in Ypres, with the indication on the tombstone Only Known Unto God (known only to God).
