Sandbags
full
of
earth
from
Flanders'
military
cemeteries
are
to
be
shipped
to
London
,
where
it
will
be
an
integral
part
of
a
memorial
garden
near
Buckingham
Palace
.
In
the
Cloth
Hall
of
Ypres
,
70
sandbags
lie
(
one
on
top
of
the
other
=
)
up
.
It's
nothing
to
do
with
an
imminent
flood
:
The
bags
contain
earth
from
several
British
military
cemeteries
in
Belgium
and
are
intended
for
a
memorial
garden
in
London
.
On
each
of
the
brown
jute
bags
a
name
has
been
written
,
indicating
the
(
place
where
dead
people
are
buried
=
)
where
the
earth
comes
from
,
next
to
a
picture
of
a
(
red
corn
flower
,
common
in
Flanders
=
)
.
Most
of
these
names
refer
to
places
in
the
Westhoek
area
of
West
Flanders
,
known
as
Flanders
Fields
.
The
"
sacred
soil
"
has
been
collected
by
local
schoolchildren
and
brought
together
in
the
Cloth
Hall
,
also
home
to
the
In
Flanders
Fields
museum
.
The
sandbags
are
to
be
shipped
to
London
,
where
the
earth
will
be
part
of
a
memorial
garden
at
the
Wellington
Barracks
near
Buckingham
Palace
.
The
garden
,
an
initiative
of
the
Guards
Museum
with
support
from
Flanders
House
in
London
,
should
be
ready
next
year
for
the
commemoration
of
100
years
since
the
(
start
=
)
of
the
First
World
War
.
On
November
8
in
2014
it
will
be
(
opened
for
the
first
time
with
a
ceremony
=
)
in
the
presence
of
members
of
the
Belgian
and
British
royal
families
.
The
design
of
the
garden
?
intended
to
be
a
quiet
place
of
reflection
and
contemplation
?
is
full
of
symbolism
.
The
first
level
of
soil
takes
the
form
of
a
rectangle
that
refers
to
the
cemeteries
and
symbolises
death
.
On
top
of
it
is
a
circular
soil
bed
,
representing
eternity
as
a
victory
over
death
.
The
(
round
=
)
shape
also
refers
to
the
opening
in
the
roof
of
the
Menin
Gate
in
Ypres
,
the
most
famous
monument
of
Flanders
Fields
,
from
which
every
year
on
11
November
poppies
rain
down
.
Sacred
soil
On
the
white
stone
wall
of
the
circle
,
the
poem
"
In
Flanders
Fields
"
will
be
(
"
written
"
or
cut
in
stone
=
)
,
as
well
as
the
names
of
several
British
regiments
that
fought
in
the
Great
War
.
"
The
sacred
(
earth
=
)
from
Flanders
Fields
will
end
up
in
the
central
circle
of
the
garden
,
"
says
Andrew
Walles
,
curator
of
the
Guard
Museum
and
one
of
the
British
promoters
behind
the
project
.
"
In
this
way
,
the
circle
becomes
a
final
resting
place
for
the
earth
,
a
symbolic
return
of
the
soldiers
who
died
on
the
Fields
.
"
The
soil
from
Flanders
Fields
?
"
Sacred
soil
,
"
according
to
Andrew
Wallis
,
curator
of
the
Guards
Museum
and
one
of
the
driving
forces
behind
the
idea
of
the
garden
,
was
collected
by
children
from
70
schools
in
Belgium
and
the
UK
.
The
children
will
also
write
texts
which
will
be
included
in
the
garden
,
and
in
a
book
to
be
kept
in
the
nearby
Guards
Museum
.
The
London
garden
is
the
first
of
its
kind
,
but
there
are
plans
to
set
up
(
almost
the
same
,
but
not
exactly
identical
=
)
memorial
gardens
in
France
,
Germany
,
New
Zealand
and
Canada
as
part
of
the
Flemish
government's
(
remembering
and
respecting
an
important
event
in
the
past
=
)
of
the
1914
-
18
war
.
Flanders'
minister
-
president
,
Kris
Peeters
,
took
part
in
a
ceremony
in
Ypres
last
week
,
when
the
sandbags
were
presented
.
"
This
is
one
of
the
strongest
signals
,
because
it's
really
moving
when
you
see
those
70
sandbags
in
all
their
symbolic
importance
,
"
he
said
.
"
The
historical
(
relations
=
)
between
Great
Britain
and
Belgium
,
in
particular
the
battlefields
and
cemeteries
in
Flanders
,
are
unique
.
That
is
why
I
consider
it
important
that
our
first
memorial
garden
is
created
in
London
.
"
The
Memorial
Garden
was
designed
by
Bruges
landscape
architect
Piet
Blankaert
,
whose
aim
is
to
evoke
the
simple
character
of
the
military
cemeteries
.
"
The
Memorial
Garden
is
simple
by
its
design
,
a
representation
of
the
graveyards
in
Flanders
Fields
brought
to
London
,
"
he
said
.
