Tyne Cot was, in fact, a barn, so named by the Northumberland Fusiliers, and stood near a level crossing on the Passchendaele to Broodseinde road. It was captured by the 2nd Australian Division on 4 October 1917 in the advance on Passchendaele and the German blockhouse; it and three others remain in the cemetery to this day. With nearly 12,000 graves, it is now the largest Commonwealth War Cemetery in the world in terms of burials. More than 8,000 are unidentified. At the suggestion of King George V, who visited the Cemetery in 1922, the Cross of Sacrifice was placed on the original blockhouse.
