I recently visited Hooge Crater cemetery near Ypres. Originally begun in 1917 with 76 graves, it was significantly expanded post-war, commemorating 5,916 servicemen today. Lutyens' design evokes the memories of the fierce battles fought in the area. Read more here:

HIS MAJESTY THE KING BECOMES FIRST PATRON OF THE COMMONWEALTH WAR GRAVES COMMISSION
His Majesty The King has today become Patron of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC), the first in its history. His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent, who has been President of the CWGC since 1970, has today officially passed the Presidency of the organisation over to Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission is a global organisation, caring for war graves at 23,000 locations in more than 150 countries and territories. The CWGC ensures that more than 1.7 million Commonwealth men and women who died during both World Wars are honoured. Since its establishment by Royal Charter, the CWGC has constructed 2,500 war cemeteries and plots, erected headstones over graves and where remains are missing inscribed the names of the dead on permanent memorials.
On a recent State Visit to Kenya, The King and Queen visited the Commonwealth War Graves' Kariokor Cemetery in Nairobi. Their Majesties joined British and Kenyan military personnel in an act of remembrance, before hearing about the Commission's recent work to ensure all those who supported Britain's efforts in both World Wars are commemorated.
As the new President of the CWGC, The Princess Royal said:
"In recording and maintaining the graves of the men and women from across the Commonwealth who died during both World Wars, the CWGC plays a significant role in commemorating those who sacrificed so much for our future. Their cemeteries, large or small, always have an impact.
"I am honoured to become President of this organisation and know that I have a challenge in continuing the dedicated work of His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent for over 50 years.
Preserving the legacy of those from across the Commonwealth who gave their future in order to preserve ours is a privilege. We will remember them"
His Royal Highness The Duke Of Kent was appointed President of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission on 27 February 1970. As President, The Duke of Kent has supported the work of the CWGC and travelled widely to visit their sites including in Australia, France, Belgium, Ireland and Bulgaria.
Villers-Bretonneux Military Cemetery & Australian National Memorial
The focus of my latest article is a memorial that commemorates the role of Australian soldiers in the First World War
In the summer before the Covid-19 pandemic struck I was fortunate to visit this fabulous cemetery and memorial which is found approximately 12 miles east of Amiens, on the road between the towns of Fouilloy and Villers-Bretonneux in the Somme department. The site holds great significance for Australians, acknowledging the role that they played when the Australian divisions retook the village…

Railway Dugouts Cemetery is 2 Kms west of Zillebeke village, where the railway runs on an embankment overlooking a small farmstead known to the troops as Transport Farm. The site of the cemetery was screened by slightly rising ground to the east, and burials began there in April 1915. They continued until the Armistice, especially in 1916 and 1917, when Advanced Dressing Stations were placed in the dugouts and the farm. They were made in small groups, without any definite arrangement and in the summer of 1917, a considerable number were obliterated by shell fire before they could be marked.
