Good stay in quiet guest house near Ypres. Visit to Tyne Cot Cemetary containing 12000 war dead and 40000 names of unknown or missing. Commonwealth's largest war grave. Extremely moving and beautifully kept, like an English garden. Hard to take it all in. Passchendale was another foolish and pointless exercise. It rained almost continually. Wounded that fell from stretchers drowned or if in shell holes, slowly drowned as water inched above them. All to gain a tiny amount of ground which was easily retaken.
