Ypres Reservoir
Cemetery, Ieper,
West-Vlaanderen, Belgium, was begun in October 1915 and used by fighting units
and field ambulances until after the Armistice, when it contained 1,099 graves.
The cemetery was later enlarged when graves were brought in from the battlefields
of the salient and smaller burial grounds. There are now 2,613 Commonwealth servicemen
of the First World War buried or commemorated in the cemetery. Some 1,034 of the
burials are unidentified. (Information and image sourced from Commonwealth War
