Perth (China Wall) Commonwealth War Graves Commission Cemetery
Perth (China Wall) Cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission burial ground for the dead of the First World War located near Ypres (now ''Ieper'') in Belgium on the Western Front.
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==
The cemetery was begun in 1914 by French troops and adopted by the 2nd Scottish Rifles in June 1917.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CWGC :: Cemetery Details )〕 A front line cemetery, it was called Perth (as the predecessors of the 2nd Scottish Rifles were raised in Perth), China Wall (from the communication trench known as the Great Wall of China), or Halfway House Cemetery and was in use until October 1917.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PERTH CEMETERY (China Wall) )〕 At the time of the armistice, it was a small cemetery of some 130 graves. It was expanded dramatically by concentration of graves from smaller cemeteries. The French element was also expanded, although these 158 graves have since been removed entirely.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wereldoorlog I in de Westhoek – Perth (China Wall) )〕
The cemetery was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.〔
