Zonnebeke, a small Belgian village steeped in history, holds tales of bravery and sacrifice from the Great War. The Sherwood Foresters Memorial and Passchendaele Museum stand as testaments to the fierce battles fought in this region, particularly around Zonnebeke. A plaque at the Zonnebeke Church honors the Canadian Artillery D21 Battery, whose actions were pivotal during the conflict. Four Australian soldiers, weary but determined, make their way along the duckboard track near Tokio. The Tyne Cot Cemetery, a stark reminder of the war's cost, lies nearby. Realistic Travels military photographs from 1918 depict British gunners taking a respite during the bombardment of Zonnebeke, while an aerial view reveals the vast expanse of the battlefield. The Menin Road Ridge 1917 was a significant battleground, with soldiers attending to the wounded amidst the chaos of war.
