Close window Tyne Cot "Tyne Cot is so beautiful when you are there early in the morning," Yvonne Heslinga writes. "The fog was thick, the silence lay as a blanket over the graves. And then, a lonely sound, a lonesome bagpiper playing his lament. So beautiful, so terribly beautiful." "I will never forget this, it is one of those things that stay with you forever, and strike you in the deepest of your soul." Yvonne Heslinga is webmaster of an important Dutch/Flemish Great War meeting place: Forum Eerste Wereldoorlog. image: © Yvonne Heslinga

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in morning We will remember them. Lawrence Binyon
