Ramscappelle Road Military Cemetery
Founded in 1917, the Ramscappelle Road Military Cemetery is located two kilometers east of the city of Nieuwpoort in the province of West Flanders (West-Vlaanderen), Belgium. It is on the N367 (Brugse Steenweg), the road which leads from Nieuwpoort to the village of Sint-Joris, near the intersection with Ramscappelle Road (Ramskapellestraat).
==Design==
Ramscappelle Road Military Cemetery was designed by British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, one of three principal architects that had been appointed by the Imperial War Graves Commission (now Commonwealth War Graves Commission) to design military cemeteries in France and Belgium, as well as memorials. Lutyens drew up the design for the cemetery on location. Later, a toolhouse, shelter, and south side wall were added to the design by assistant architect George Goldsmith. There is a War Stone, also known as a Stone of Remembrance, on the east side of the graveyard.
This was designed by Lutyens for the Imperial War Graves Commission (now the Commonwealth War Graves Commission). It generally denotes a war cemetery with at least one thousand graves. Ramscappelle is an exception to this. The biblical phrase "Their Name Liveth For Evermore" on the War Stone was selected by author Rudyard Kipling. It is found on Stones of Remembrance around the world. Kipling, a member of the Imperial War Graves Commission (now Commonwealth War Graves Commission), also chose the phrase "Known unto God" for the gravestones of the unidentified. The Cross of Sacrifice directly opposite the War Stone, on the west side of the graveyard, was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield, also for the Commission.〔 It usually indicates a war cemetery with at least fifty burials.
