The Tyne Cot Memorial and Cemetery (1)
Photo :
Commonwealth War Graves Commission website
The Tyne Cot Memorial is one of four memorials to the missing in Belgian Flanders which cover the area known as the Ypres Salient. The battles of the Ypres Salient claimed many lives on both sides and it quickly became clear that the commemoration of members of the Commonwealth forces with no known grave would have to be divided between several different sites.
Those United Kingdom and New Zealand servicemen who died in the Salient after 16 August 1917 are named on the memorial at Tyne Cot, a site which marks the furthest point reached by Commonwealth forces in Belgium until nearly the end of the war. Other New Zealand casualties are commemorated on memorials at Buttes New British Cemetery and Messines Ridge British Cemetery. The Tyne Cot Memorial now bears the names of almost 35,000 officers and men whose graves are not known.
Of the 34,863 names on the Memorial, 492 are for men of the Yorkshire Regiment.
The names of these men commemorated on the Tyne Cot Memorial are listed below.
Soldiers who originally served in the Yorkshire Regiment, but were serving
in another regiment when they lost their lives, are shown in parenthesis,
below. e.g. Private Alderson, C. The panels on which they are commemorated
will be shown on the details (below) for that soldier's name.
Photographs of the name panels which commemorate the Yorkshire Regiment soldiers can be viewed by selecting the link below. This will open a page in a new window.
