About this cemetery
Tyne Cot Cemetery is a Commonwealth war graves cemetery about 9 kilometres north-east of Ieper, on the Tynecotstraat near Passendale. The name is said to come from the Northumberland Fusiliers, who saw a resemblance between the German concrete pillboxes on the site and Tyneside workers' cottages. It holds roughly 11,950 burials and commemorations, and the Tyne Cot Memorial to the Missing forms its north-eastern boundary.
