Located in the Ypres Salient on the Western Front, Chester Farm Cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission burial ground established in 1915 to honor the First World War dead. Designed by William Harrison Cowlishaw and Edwin Lutyens, the cemetery was granted to the United Kingdom in perpetuity by the King of Belgium in recognition of British sacrifices during the defence and liberation of Belgium. Now a protected monument (beschermd monument), it stands as a lasting memorial to those who fell in one of the war's most contested regions.
