Sanctuary Wood Cemetery

Located further south and past the town of Zonnebeke is the Sanctuary Wood Cemetery, where Gilbert Talbot’s body lies buried. Sanctuary Wood Museum lies a little bit further on and exists as an untouched area of battlefield unchanged since the end of the war. Here you will find shell-craters and trenches. The horrendous fighting spread through the woods and up Hill 62 where a Canadian Monument now stands overlooking the beautiful valley to Ypres.
