The German military cemetery at Langemark

Langemark is one of the four German military cemeteries in Flanders, on the Klerkenstraat, north of Ypres. More than 44,000 soldiers are buried beneath the oaks, half of them in a mass grave. It is sober and dark, with low stone crosses and flat headstones, and the contrast with the white Commonwealth cemeteries explains much about how each side remembered the war.
