Hyde Park Corner (Royal Berks) Cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) burial ground in Belgium for the dead of the First World War, located in the village of Ploegsteert in the Ypres Salient on the Western Front. This small cemetery is not to be confused with the much larger ''Berks Cemetery Extension'', which is also the site of the ''Ploegsteert Memorial to the Missing''. Both of these are located directly opposite, across the road. ==History== This small cemetery was originally set up by 1st and 4th Royal Berkshire Regiment troops in April 1915. The cemetery later expanded across the road, where the Berks Cemetery Extension was built,〔(CWGC entry ), accessed 26 May 2006〕 and which now also houses the Ploegsteert Memorial to the Missing. 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. The current appearance of the cemetery was designed by H(arold) Chalton Bradshaw, who also designed the Cambrai Memorial in France.〔(First World War ), accessed 26 May 2006〕
