Battlefield Vlog: Hooge Crater Cemetery
In this third video where we walk the battlefields near Ypres in Flanders, we visit Hooge Crater Cemetery.. With over 6,000 graves, we look at the burial of the dead, the concentration of margraves after the conflict and what it meant to families to feel the loss of those who fell in the Great War. Along the war we look at the fighting here, including the Canadians who held this sector in 1916.
