Unlike allied cemeteries the land here belongs to the Belgian government Even on the brightest of summer days this cemetery is cold and gloomy Just beyond the entrance there is a mass burial pit containing the remains of thousands of men

The blocks around this area record the names of the fallen

The Langemark cemetery is a large one Oak trees block the sunlight The figures of four solders look out over the cemetery

Oak panels at the entrance to the cemetery record the names of the 'student' soldiers who died defending Langemark

German concrete blockhouses form part of the cemetery

Langemark made an impression on our pupils This cemetery was never designed to be as 'uplifting' as the British ones but instead it reminds pupils of the true cost of war to all sides involved
