Tyne Cot is the largest Commonwealth military cemetery on the European continent: almost 12,000 graves on a hillside at Passendale, in the municipality of Zonnebeke, where the Battle of Passchendaele was fought in 1917. On the back wall, the memorial to the missing carries another 35,000 names of British and Irish soldiers who fell after 16 August 1917, who did not fit on the Menin Gate, and a separate memorial remembers the New Zealanders of October 1917.
