Closing of Zonnebeke Church Dugout - Zonnebeke - 10/11/2017
10/11/2017 - Zonnebeke
In Groot-Zonnebeke a lot of ceremonies and other activities took place between November 8th and 12th 2017. The Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917, the municipality of Zonnebeke and the GPS 1917 vzw commemorated, in collaboration with the Canadian and Flemish Government, the Canadian capture of the ruins of Passchendaele on 10 November 1917. These commemorations formed the end of the commemoration period ‘100 years battle of Passchendaele’ which started on 29 July.
A Canadian delegation participated in several ceremonies in Zonnebeke, Ypres and Langemark-Poelkapelle. The official ceremonies in Zonnebeke began with the inauguration of the Canada Gate and a ceremony at sunset at the Crest Farm Canadian Memorial on 9 November. The next day there was a big ceremony at CWGC Tyne Cot Cemetery.
Closing of Zonnebeke Church Dugout
On November 10th, the Zonnebeke Church Dugout was closed permanently with a short ceremony. This underground site was been open to the public since 31 July 2017.
