Tyne Cot
Tyne Cot or Tyne Cottage was the name
given by the Northumberland Fusiliers to
a barn witch stood near the level crossing
on the Passchendaele-Broodseinde road. The barn, which had become the centre of five or six German blockhouses, or pill-boxes, was captured by the 3rd Australian Division on 4 October 1917, in the advance on Passchendaele.
Today, Tyne Cot is a cemetery and memorial to those who lost their lives fighting in Flanders.
