Soldat William Frederick Dodds
Dear Sir, Just a few lines to express my deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your son, Pte. W. F. Dodds in action. He was, I believe, posted as missing at first, but on making inquiries we found he had been killed instantly by a shell on the morning of Nov 6th, just after the objective had been reached when the Canadians made their successful attack. The reason for his being posted as missing was that he was killed near another company, so that none of his own platoon saw him fall. I can tell you, Mr. Dodds, that we all miss him greatly, he was one of my best men. Although he had not been so very long at the front, he was always happy and cheerful, no matter what was happening. We have the one consolation in the fact that he died as he had lived, doing his duty as a soldier and a man. If there are any further details that I can give you I will be only too pleased to do so. Yours, sincerely, G. Douglas Cameron, Lieut. 27th Battn., Canadians

CIMETIÈRE DE TYNE COT Belgique
Le cimetière de Tyne Cot est situé à 9 kilomètres au nord-est du centre-ville d'Ypres sur la Tynecotstraat, une route qui rejoint la Zonnebeekseweg (N332). Le cimetière de Tyne Cot se trouve 700 mètres plus loin, sur le côté droit de la Tynecotstraat.
Des fusiliers de Northumberland ont donné le nom de « Tyne Cottages » ou « Tyne Cotts » à un groupe de blockhaus allemands ou casemates situés près du passage à niveau sur la route reliant Passchendaele à Broodseinde. Trois de ces fortins existent toujours dans le cimetière. Le plus gros, qui avait été pris par la troisième division australienne le 4 octobre 1917, a été choisi par le roi George V durant son pèlerinage aux cimetières du front ouest en Belgique et en France en 1922 pour y ériger la Croix du Sacrifice.
Le cimetière Tyne Cot constitue la dernière demeure de près de 12 000 soldats des forces du Commonwealth et compte donc le plus grand nombre de sépultures de tous les cimetières du Commonwealth pour les deux guerres mondiales.
Pour plus d’informations, visitez la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth (site disponible en anglais seulement).
