Hill 62 (sanctuary Wood) Canadian Memorial

Sanctuary Wood is said to have earned its name in October 1914 when it was used as a 'sanctuary' to stragglers waiting to rejoin their units. The family who owns the land realised at an early stage that the wood would be of great interest to pilgrims and tourists. The trench lines and dugouts were enclosed, and the shattered trees fenced in.Today Sanctuary Wood is considered by many to offer the finest preserved trenches on the Western Front.Aside from battlefield artifacts the interior of the museum offers 3D stereoscopic photographs of highly graphic scenes taken during the war.
