On October 29th all of the Y9s took a bus ride into Belgium for a History trip. We've been learning about WW1 in History, so we got to go to lots of depressing cemeteries.
Fun! (I'm exaggerating)
The first one was for British and French soldiers - or people in the Triple Entente. There were loads of rows of graves - and lots of them were 'unknown unto god' meaning that they didn't know who they were.
The second cemetery we went to was for the Germans. It was a lot gloomier (mass graves instead of individual graves, dark trees)
The last one looked a bit like the first one - the graves were the same, but there were less of them. There was one grave for a 15 year old.
All of these photos are from the first cemetery.
