Oliver<p>Rewinding my lifeline back to July 2021, I (once again) visited Belgium and especially the region of Flanders where my interest in Flanders Fields was born years ago.<br><br>Hill 60 was a low rise south-east of Ypres made from the soil removed in digging a cutting for the Ypres to Comines railway.<br><br>It is told to had excellent views over both Ypres and Zillebeke, and was captured by the German army during the first Battle of Ypres in November 1914. On 17 April 1915, in one of the first tunnelling operations by the British Army, six mines exploded under Hill 60, which was then quickly captured with minimal casualties.<br><br><a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/inflandersfields" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#inflandersfields</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/travellingthroughtheworld" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#travellingthroughtheworld</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/history" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/battleofmessines" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#battleofmessines</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/lestweforget" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#lestweforget</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/commonwealthwargraves" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#commonwealthwargraves</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/hill60" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#hill60</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/commonwealthwargravescommission" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#commonwealthwargravescommission</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/messines" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#messines</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/flandersfields" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#flandersfields</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/johnmccrae" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#johnmccrae</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/respect" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#respect</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/thanks" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#thanks</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/ig_belgium" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#ig_belgium</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/ypres" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#ypres</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/ieper" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#ieper</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/thegreatwar" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#thegreatwar</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/flanders" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#flanders</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/ww1" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#ww1</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/poppies" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#poppies</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/trench" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#trench</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/gravesite" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#gravesite</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/trenchwarfare" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#trenchwarfare</a> <a href="https://photos.skumring.com/tags/trench" rel="nofollow noopener" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#trench</a></p>
OliverNo one can prepare you for the impact Tyne Cot Cemetery has on a human mind of today, being not aware of the terrors and fears that came with The Great War. 11,965 burials, of which 8,369 are unnamed, mark the Belgian landscape while fields of crops and wheat embrace this monumental site.⁣<br> <br> Hold your breath and try to walk humbly over this burial ground once you made it to this region in Belgium - and try to learn from history (which we all should do)!⁣<br> <br> <a href="https://nordicshutter.com/discover/tags/flandersfields1418?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow
