EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the Sherwood Foresters (Notts & Derby) Memorial at Tyne Cot Cemetery and Memorial Park in Belgium. Dedicated to the soldiers of the Sherwood Foresters (Notts and Derby Regiment) who lost their lives during the First World War, the memorial stands as a testament to their sacrifice and bravery. The Sherwood Foresters, also known as the "Green Jackets," were a renowned infantry regiment with a rich history that dates back to the English Civil War. They saw extensive action throughout the First World War, particularly in the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Passchendaele. The regiment's most notable engagement, however, was during the Third Battle of Ypres, also known as the Battle of Passchendaele, which took place from July to November 1917. The photograph was taken at Tyne Cot Cemetery and Memorial Park, which is located near the village of Passchendaele in the Ypres Salient of western Belgium. The cemetery is the largest Commonwealth war grave site in the world, with over 11,950 graves and 35,000 names inscribed on the memorial walls. Tyne Cot Cemetery was established after the Battle of Passchendaele, which resulted in heavy casualties on both sides. The Sherwood Foresters (Notts & Derby) Memorial at Tyne Cot Cemetery is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the regiment during the First World War. The memorial bears the regimental crest and the inscription, "Sherwood Foresters (Notts and Derby Regiment) 1914-1918." The photograph captures the somber atmosphere of the site, with the sun casting long shadows over the rolling hills and the crosses of the graves stretching out towards the horizon. The memorial stands as a symbol of hope and remembrance, honoring the brave men who gave their lives for their country.
