First DCLI Commonwealth War Graves Commission Cemetery, The Bluff

First DCLI Cemetery, The Bluff is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission burial ground for the dead of the First World War located near The Bluff south of Ypres (now ''Ieper'') in Belgium on the Western Front. It takes its name from the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry (DCLI).
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〕
==Immediate area==

The area where the cemetery stands, known by soldiers as "The Bluff", is an artificial ridge in the landscape created by spoil from failed attempts to dig a canal. With the additional height in an otherwise relatively flat landscape, The Bluff was an important military objective. German forces took The Bluff in February 1916, and it was recaptured by the 14th (Light) Division on 2 March.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CWGC: Cemetery Details )〕 In July 1916, the Germans detonated a mine under the ridge, but did not capture it.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wereldoorlog I in de Westhoek )〕 The Germans took The Bluff during the Spring Offensive of 1918, and it finally returned to Allied hands on 28 September after a push by the 14th (Light) Division.〔 The area is now a provincial nature reserve and picnic area called "Provinciaal Domein Palingbeek".
