Bedford House Commonwealth War Graves Commission Cemetery
Bedford House Cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission burial ground for the dead of the First World War located near Zillebeke, itself near Ypres, on the Western Front in Belgium.
The cemetery grounds were assigned to the United Kingdom in perpetuity by King Albert I of Belgium in recognition of the sacrifices made by the British Empire in the defence and liberation of Belgium during the war.〔(First World War ), accessed 19 August 2006〕
==Foundation==
Zillebeke was directly behind the Western Front, making it a useful site for divisional headquarters and field ambulance stations. Château Rosendal, a large house with a moat and extensive gardens was put to this use. The British forces in the area named the château "Bedford House" or "Woodcote House",〔(Denys Gaskell on Bedford House ), accessed 13 October 2007〕 with the former becoming the official name used for the post-war cemetery.〔(Commonwealth War Graves Commission ) record for Bedford House cemetery, accessed 13 October 2007〕
Whilst the area remained in Allied hands through the war,〔(wo1.be ), accessed 13 October 2007〕 it was devastated by shell fire and the château was razed over the course of the war, being hit by German 8-inch shells, as well as 500 gas shells in just one day of the Third Battle of Ypres.〔(firstworldwar.com ), accessed 13 October 2007〕
