We then visited Langemark German War Cemetery. A solemn WWI site where over 44,000 German soldiers are buried - including nearly 25,000 in a mass grave. Known as the “Studentenfriedhof” for the many young student volunteers who died in 1914.

Essex Farm Cemetery holds around 1,200 Commonwealth graves - about 100 unknown. It was here that Lt‑Col John McCrae wrote his iconic poem In Flanders Fields on 3 May 1915 after burying his friend Alexis Helmer.

The Lochnagar Crater was created on 1 July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme, by a huge British mine explosion under German lines. Measuring about 91 meters wide and 21 meters deep, it remains one of the largest man-made mine craters from WWI. It is now preserved as a memorial.

Dartmoor Cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves cemetery from World War I. Established in 1915, it contains the graves of British and Commonwealth soldiers, many of whom died in the Battle of the Somme. It serves as a quiet place of remembrance for those who gave their lives in the war.
