Brandhoek New Military Number 3 Commonwealth War Graves Commission Cemetery
Brandhoek New Military Cemetery Number 3 is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission burial ground for the dead of the First World War located near Ypres (Dutch: Ieper) in Belgium on the Western Front. The cemetery grounds were assigned to the United Kingdom in perpetuity by King Albert I of Belgium in recognition of the sacrifices made by the British Empire in the defence and liberation of Belgium during the war.[1] FoundationThe cemetery was begun by the British in August 1917 during the Battle of Passchendaele to replace the nearby Brandhoek New Military Cemetery.[2] The cemetery was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield,[2] with the gates being presented by the father of Lt AH Strutt, one of the soldiers buried within.[3] References
