With pride, but also with a little sadness, we would like to share that this is the last week you can visit and enjoy our LEGO creation of Hedge Row Trench Cemetery at the Visit Commonwealth War Graves Visitors Centre in Beaurains.

From next week onwards, a new educational LEGO cemetery will take its place. This new creation will be used to help explain the work of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, the meaning behind the cemeteries, the different types of headstones 🪦, and the stories they represent.

We hope you have enjoyed this very special creation as much as we enjoyed building it.

For us, Lego is more than just bricks. It is a way of telling stories, creating connections and keeping history alive.

We are confident that the new educational build will continue to contribute to keeping remembrance alive and, most importantly, help create a connection between younger generations and the events of the past, while reminding us that conflicts and their consequences are, sadly, still very much part of our world today.

Lest we forget 🌹

Small add-on for the educational Lego Cemetery that we create next week at the Visit Commonwealth War Graves.

Do you know what it represents near the real cemeteries?

🇳🇱

Enkele jaren geleden starten Corneel en Van Miegroet Youri een Lego project om samen constructies te bouwen die hun « steentje » bijdragen bij het herdenken aan de Grote oorlog.

Het eerst project was Hedge Row Trench.

Een project dat tot stand kwam dankzij lokale sponsoren en eigen financiële inbreng.

Hedge Row Trench startte met een rondreis via verschillende gekende locaties in de Westhoek.
Het werd zelfs tentoongesteld in het Oost-Vlaamse Hamme.

Uiteindelijk kreeg deze prachtige 25000 tellende creatie een definitieve plaats in het bezoekerscentrum van de Visit Commonwealth War Graves in Beaurains.

Met een oppervlakte van 2 meter bij 2 meter een creatie waar je niet naast kon kijken.

Op 12 september zullen we Hedge Row Trench omtoveren tot een Educatieve Begraafplaats 🪦.

Op basis van deze nieuwe constructie zullen de gidsen van o.a. de Commonwealth War Graves Commission en hopelijk vele andere gidsen op een eenvoudige manier de verschillende herkenningspunten van een begraafplaats kunnen uitleggen aan groot en klein.

Hedge Row Trench in Lego zal dus niet meer bestaan maar het zal wel de basis zijn van het nieuwe Educatieve Lego Project.

We hopen met deze nieuwe constructie ons « Lego Steenjte» te kunnen blijven bijdragen.

Lest We Forget

🇬🇧

A few years ago, Corneel Clarys and Youri Van Miegroet launched a LEGO project to build structures together that would do their “part” in commemorating the Great War.

The first project was Hedge Row Trench.

This project was made possible thanks to local sponsors and their own financial contributions.

Hedge Row Trench began with a tour of various well-known locations in the Westhoek region.
It was even exhibited in Hamme, East Flanders.

Ultimately, this magnificent creation, comprising 25,000 bricks, found a permanent home in the visitor center of the Visit Commonwealth War Graves in Beaurains.

Measuring 2 meters by 2 meters, it was a creation you simply couldn’t miss.

On September 12, we will transform Hedge Row Trench into an Educational Cemetery 🪦.

Based on this new structure, guides from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and, hopefully, many other guides will be able to easily explain the various landmarks of a cemetery to visitors of all ages.

So, the Lego version of Hedge Row Trench will no longer exist, but it will serve as the foundation for the new Educational Lego Project.

We hope that with this new structure, we can continue to contribute our “Lego brick.”
